Senate committee approves consent calendar and advances bill to calendar
Summary
Committee approved the consent calendar by voice/roll call and moved SB 1590 (Sen. Roberts) to the calendar; members recorded '7 ayes, 2 absent' for both votes. SB 1590 would add the remainder of the Buffalo and Duck rivers to a Class II pastoral river designation.
After returning to session, the committee approved the consent calendar (motion seconded by Senator Wally) and the clerk recorded the vote; the chair announced the motion carried with '7 ayes, 2 absent.'
On the regular calendar, the committee considered Senate Bill 1590 (sponsor: Senator Roberts). Senator Roberts said the bill “simply adds the rest of the Buffalo and the Duck River to that designation along with some of the creeks that flow into the Duck or Buffalo River.” There were no questions, the bill was moved (the chair moved it and Vice Chair Lowe seconded), the clerk recorded the vote and the chair announced '7 ayes, 2 absent'; the bill moves to the calendar.
Why it matters: SB 1590 would expand a river designation (Class II pastoral river areas) affecting the Buffalo and Duck rivers and associated tributaries; senators discussed no amendments during the hearing. The committee adjourned after the votes.
