Senate committee declares two bills germane after brief proceedings

A Senate committee adopted a motion to declare two bills germane after a short procedural meeting. A committee member said staff had recommended that two measures — described in the record as an appropriation and a revenue bill and referred to as "2 74" and "2 80" — be found germane, and moved that the body accept that recommendation.

The committee member stated, "Madam Chair, I move that senate bill 2 74 and 2 80 Old Germaine." The chair asked whether there was any opposition to the motion; no member voiced opposition and the committee proceeded, indicating the motion carried by voice consent. The transcript contains no roll-call tally.

The record also notes, without naming them, that two other bills were determined not germane by staff; those bills are not identified in the transcript. The meeting concluded with thanks and a note that a future meeting would depend on incoming messages.

The transcript does not name the member who moved the motion beyond the speaker label in the record; it records a verbal acknowledgement to "Senator Munoz," but does not indicate Munoz moved or seconded the motion. The committee did not record any formal roll-call vote or detailed vote tally in the transcript.

Next steps, if any, were not stated in the transcript. Because the record is procedural and brief, it does not include bill summaries, sponsors, or further scheduling information for the measures referenced.
