Sen. Phil King moves committee substitute for SB 6; panel votes 10–0 to report CSSB 6
Summary
The Senate Committee on Business & Commerce adopted a committee substitute for SB 6 and voted 10–0 to report CSSB 6 to the full Senate on March 12, 2025; the minutes record the author, Senator Phil King, explained differences but do not transcribe specifics.
The Senate Committee on Business & Commerce met March 12, 2025, in the Betty King Committee Room in Austin and took action on SB 6. Committee Chair Senator Charles Schwertner called the meeting to order at 8:31 a.m., and the committee considered a committee substitute filed for the bill by the author, Senator Phil King.
Senator Phil King, identified in the minutes as the bill author and vice chair, "sent up a committee substitute" and was recognized to explain how the committee substitute differed from the senate bill as filed. The minutes record that King moved the adoption of the committee substitute and that, "without objection, it was so ordered." Later in the same segment King moved "that SB 6 do not pass but that CSSB 6 be reported back to the Senate with the recommendation that it do pass and be printed." The motion carried on a record vote of 10 ayes, 0 nays, 0 present not voting, and 1 absent.
The committee minutes do not record the substantive text of the bill or the committee substitute nor do they include a transcript of Senator King's explanation; they record procedural actions and the roll-call result only. With no further business, at 8:59 a.m. Senator Schwertner moved that the committee stand recessed subject to the call of the Chair, and the motion was adopted without objection.
