Votes and actions at a glance: bills advanced by Senate Commerce & Consumer Protection

The Senate Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection (joint with Judiciary where noted) reported recommendations on multiple measures at its Feb. 26, 2020 decision-making hearing. Most bills were advanced with amendments; several were given defective effective dates (commonly July 1, 2050) to allow delayed implementation or additional review. Items recorded as adopted or otherwise disposed of include:

- SB 2053 SD1 (transportation): Passed with amendments; defective effective date July 1, 2050. - SB 3035 SD1 (real estate transactions): Passed with amendments requiring disclosure of reasonably known erosion-control structures; defective effective date July 1, 2050. - SB 874 SD1 (veterinary medicine): Passed with amendments; defective effective date July 1, 2050. - SB 2031 SD1 and SB 2032 (consumer protection / contractor licensing): Passed with amendments, the latter adopting the Contractor's Licensing Board requested clarifying amendment. - SB 2050 SD1 (chiropractic), SB 2061 SD1 (residential condominiums), SB 2102 SD1 (industrial hemp), SB 2398 SD1 (residential housing), and SB 3045 SD1 (health insurance): Passed with amendments or passed unamended as noted; some items include auditor or agency reports flagged for member review.

Several votes are recorded in the transcript as committee recommendations being adopted; where the transcript does not provide a full roll call or numeric tally, the entry below lists outcome as 'adopted' and marks vote tallies as "not specified". For SB 608, the record included named ayes and excused members and is treated in a separate article above. Where agencies requested amendments (e.g., DLNR on SB 2103) the committee adopted those changes and noted outstanding questions to be reflected in the committee report.

Members and stakeholders should consult the official committee report and the Legislature's bill files for the authoritative amendment language and final roll-call tallies.
