Senate Revenue & Tax Committee members voted to advance SB185 after a brief presentation by Senator Blake Johnson. Johnson described the bill as a "cleanup from our tax appeals commission," saying it shifts the procedure for appointments so that the governor holds "ultimate authority for those appointments" rather than the Supreme Court.
Johnson framed SB185 as a preventive, procedural change meant to clarify how appointments are made. No members of the public spoke for or against the bill during the committee hearing. Senator Payton moved a "do pass" recommendation; Senator Crowes seconded. The committee approved the motion by voice vote.
With the committee's approval, SB185 will move forward in the legislative process; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
