Committee closes public testimony and leaves multiple bills pending
Summary
For a set of bills (e.g., SB 2864, SB 1012, SB 2221, SB 1705, SB 1181, SB 2586, SB 2075, SB 383, SB 2994), the committee closed public testimony and left each item pending for future consideration.
The committee repeatedly recognized bill authors, received witness registrations and testimony (details noted as "shown on the attached list" in the minutes), moved to close public testimony on each item, and ordered the bills left pending.
Items left pending include SB 2864 (author Senator Creighton), SB 1012 (author Senator Kolkhorst), SB 2221 (author Senator Parker), SB 1705 (committee substitute sent up by Senator Nichols), SB 1181 (author Senator Alvarado), SB 2586 (Senator Nichols in absence of the author), SB 2075 (author Senator Zaffirini), SB 383 (author Senator Middleton), and SB 2994 (author Senator Johnson). The minutes record the procedural actions (close testimony, leave pending) but do not include verbatim witness statements in the public minutes; witness lists are referenced as attached to the official minutes.
These procedural steps leave the items on the committee docket for future action; leaving a bill pending preserves the record of testimony while deferring a committee decision or recommendation.
