House sends two joint resolutions to criminal justice subcommittee
Summary
The House voted to refer House Joint Resolutions 840 and 842 to the criminal justice subcommittee; the motion prevailed by a recorded vote of 70–24.
Leader Lambert moved that House Joint Resolutions 840 and 842 be referred to the criminal justice subcommittee. The presiding officer put the motion to a roll‑call vote, and the clerk reported the result as 70 ayes and 24 nays. The presiding officer announced the motion prevails and the two resolutions will be considered by the subcommittee as scheduled.
The referral does not enact policy but places the items on a subcommittee agenda for further consideration and possible amendment. Members who objected registered their concerns on the floor prior to the vote.
