Senate Finance Committee votes to 'do pass' committee substitute for Senate Bill 151

During a Senate Finance Committee meeting, members voted to "do pass" the committee substitute for Senate Bill 151 after correcting an earlier procedural error. The clerk announced, "We have a due pass for the committee substitute for senate bill 1 51 by senate finance."

The committee had previously recorded an incorrect motion and the chair asked for a new motion to reflect a "do not pass" on the tenant committee substitute and a "do pass" on the Senate Finance Committee substitute for Senate Bill 151. A motion was made and a second recorded; a roll call followed.

Roll-call votes recorded by the clerk showed: Senator Campos — yes; Senator Gonzales — yes; Senator Lanier — no; Senator Padilla — yes; Senator Steinborn — yes; Senator Tobiasin — no; Senator Trujillo — excused; Senator Woods — excused; Senator Shendo — yes; Senator Grama — excused; Senator Munoz — yes. The clerk declared the committee substitute "do pass."

The committee discussion included a brief clarification that the only change in the substitute involved the date associated with a 30-day sunset provision. The committee concluded its business and indicated it would reconvene on the floor the following day to consider additional bills.
