Senate sends S.311 to Natural Resources and Energy committee

A senator moved to suspend the rules and commit S.311, "an act relating to bringing everyone home," to the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Energy while keeping the report of the Committee on Economic Development, Housing and General Affairs intact. The motion carried on a voice vote; the presiding officer announced, "the ayes have it," and S.311 was committed to the Natural Resources and Energy committee.

The referral preserves the economic development committee's report as part of the record; no amendments or further debate were recorded on the floor at the time of the referral. The motion was made during the opening business of the day and implemented immediately, moving S.311 into committee consideration rather than leaving it on the notice calendar.
