Committee leaves several bills pending after public testimony closed
Summary
After taking invited testimony, the Senate Committee on Business & Commerce closed public testimony on a number of bills (including SB 1642, SB 1643, SB 1238 and others) and left those measures pending for further consideration.
Several bills considered at the March 27 committee hearing were not advanced; the Chair closed public testimony on multiple measures and the committee left them pending. Bills left pending after testimony was closed include SB 1642, SB 1643, SB 1238, SB 1706, SB 1455, SB 1644, SB 1810, SB 458, SB 1791, SB 1824, SB 1825, SB 758 and SB 819. For each of these the minutes note that witnesses testified and registered on the bills (the witness lists are attached to the official minutes) and that, after testimony, the Chair moved to leave the measure pending.
The minutes repeatedly describe the procedural step: "The Chair moved that the public testimony be closed; without objection, it was so ordered." That closure, recorded by the committee, signaled no immediate committee vote to advance those bills on that day. Affected bills remain pending for further committee deliberation or future action by the Chair and authors.
