Committee adopts multiple committee substitutes before reporting to the Senate
Summary
During its March 18 meeting the committee adopted several committee substitutes (including for SB 1172, SB 681, and CSSB 213) and reported those substitutes to the Senate with recommendations to pass. Committee substitute adoption was handled by motion and recorded in the minutes.
Committee members adopted committee substitutes for several bills during the March 18 hearing and then moved to report those substituted measures back to the Senate with recommendations that they pass and be printed.
For example, Senator Phil King sent up a committee substitute for SB 1172; after the Chair recognized the author to explain the difference between the committee substitute and the filed bill, Senator King moved adoption of the substitute and the committee reported the substitute (CSSB 1172) favorably. Similarly, Senator Campbell sent up committee substitutes for multiple bills including SB 681 and SB 924 (in the sequence of items where substitutes were proposed), and those substitutes were either adopted or the bills with substitutes were left pending as noted in the minutes.
Why it matters: adoption of committee substitutes changes the version of the bill that the full Senate will consider; stakeholders should consult the filed substitutes (e.g., CSSB 1172, CSSB 681) for the operative language that will advance to the floor.
