At-a-glance: Judiciary Committee actions — appointment, S.3, S.2
Summary
Key committee outcomes: favorable report for a 15th-circuit solicitor nominee and favorable committee reports to the Senate for S.3 (sweepstakes machines fix) and S.2 (Equal Access to the Ballot) with recorded tallies.
The Senate Judiciary Committee recorded several formal outcomes during the session: the committee issued a favorable report for Jimmy Arthur Richardson II's nomination as solicitor for the 15th judicial circuit and sent the nomination packet to the full Senate for floor consideration.
On legislation, the committee reported S.3 (clarifying the illegality of internet sweepstakes machines in alcohol-serving places) with a recorded tally of 17–2 in favor. The committee also reported S.2 (Equal Access to the Ballot Act) as perfected by committee amendments, by a vote of 19–1; that bill requires verification of electronic statements of economic interest before accepting candidates’ statements of intention, adds a limited cure period and includes provisions to post guidance on the state election commission website. Members may offer further perfecting amendments on the Senate floor.
