Senate adopts conference report clarifying impeachment procedures
Summary
Senators adopted the conference committee report on SB 479, a technical bill that provides procedural details for impeachment processes; the vote was recorded 26–9 after sponsors described the measure as correcting technical issues without supplanting the constitution.
Senator Morris brought the conference committee report on SB 479 to the floor and described it as addressing technical issues: "It simply provides the procedures for an impeachment process that is lacking in the constitution it doesn't supplant the constitution which it cannot do but it just gives us some procedural outlooks and they corrected all the technical issues with it."
After no substantive questions on the floor, the Senate opened the machines for a recorded vote. The secretary announced 26 ayes and 9 nays and the conference committee report was adopted. The sponsor emphasized the measure is procedural and clarifying in scope; the Senate's concurrence advances the report to its final statutory stage as appropriate under conference procedures.
