House considers numerous procedural withdrawals from committee; most motions agreed
Summary
Multiple representatives moved to withdraw specific House bills from committee; most motions were agreed to without objection, though at least one withdrawal met objection and was denied.
A series of members moved to withdraw a range of House bills from committee during the session. Representative Powell moved to withdraw House Bill 2,002; the presiding officer recorded an objection and that objection was sustained for that motion.
Other members moved to withdraw bills including HB 1808, HB 2040, HB 2042, HB 1545, HB 1854, HB 1726, HB 928, HB 1876, HB 1876 and many others during a sustained series of procedural motions; the transcript records that most of those motions were agreed to "without objection, so ordered."
The series of withdrawal motions was routine procedural business intended to adjust committee assignments and the calendars; the chamber did not debate the substance of the underlying bills during these motions. Several members thanked colleagues and noted the motions were consistent with scheduling needs for upcoming subcommittee hearings.
