Committee approves Senate Bill 85 on public safety with several no votes recorded

The Assembly Judiciary Committee voted to move Senate Bill 85 out of committee after a work session. The bill, described by staff as revising provisions relating to public safety, had no amendments at the committee’s work session.

Vice Chair Marzola moved the do-pass motion and Assembly Member Dalia seconded. During the vote the chair recorded five members voting “nay” by name: Assembly Members Hanson, Urich, Cole, Gray and Hardy; the chair then announced the motion passed and assigned the floor statement to Assembly Member Dahlia.

No public testimony or detailed bill discussion was recorded in the work session excerpt. The committee did not read or debate statutory text on the record during the work session portion in the transcript excerpt.

The bill will proceed to the floor with the committee’s floor assignment for further consideration.
