Senate adopts fiscal amendment to inmate‑related bill and 'circles' it for 24‑hour consideration
On the Senate floor, members considered Second Substitute House Bill 248, which contains inmate-related amendments. Senator Owens moved an amendment in his name that removed the mandatory 'shall' language so the bill's provisions would apply only if funding is available. The Senate adopted Amendment 1 by voice vote.

Following adoption of the amendment, Senator Owens moved to 'circle' the bill — a procedural motion to set the bill aside overnight to allow time for further amendment or review. The motion to circle passed by voice vote; the sponsor and the presiding officer noted the bill will remain on the calendar and be available for amendment after the 24-hour period.

No roll-call final passage occurred during this session; the bill was set aside for further consideration.
