The Senate Judiciary Committee took several formal actions today: it reported a gubernatorial nominee for solicitor of the 15th judicial circuit favorably (committee announced a unanimous favorable report), reported SB3 (to clarify sweepstakes/gambling restrictions) by 17–2, and reported SB2 (equal access to the ballot, with perfecting amendments) by 19–1.
Details: the committee moved and seconded the appointment motion for Jimmy Arthur Richardson and counted the hands; the chair announced the report would be sent to the Senate desk. For SB3 the committee adopted a favorable report 17–2 after debate about allowing additional industry testimony; for SB2 the committee adopted perfecting amendments on filing locations, cure procedures and administrative fines and then voted 19–1 to report the bill to the floor. All formal tallies and actions were announced on the record in committee.
