House refuses to receive Senate Amendment 2 to SB 714, sends bill back to Senate
Summary
On the message calendar the House declined to receive Senate Amendment 2 to Senate Bill 714 (education). The chamber noted the Senate had nonconcurred on April 22, 2025; the motion to refuse adoption was ordered without objection and the bill will be returned to the Senate.
The House considered a message-calendar item concerning Senate Bill 714, which relates to education. The clerk explained that on 04/22/2025 the Senate nonconcurred in the House's Amendment 2, and Representative Lambert moved that "we refuse to receive from our actions and adopted amendment number 2." "Without objection, we refuse to receive," the presiding officer said, and the motion was recorded as ordered.
The procedural outcome means the bill will be returned to the Senate; either chamber could then move to appoint a conference committee to reconcile differences. The clerk outlined the possible next steps: the Senate could motion for a conference committee, and if the House agreed, conference proceedings would follow.
