Committee gives LC610425S a do-pass recommendation and moves it to rules

Late in the hearing the committee called up LC610425S (a committee substitute previously circulated). Chairman Carpenter moved that the item "do pass" and a committee member seconded the motion (pro forma naming in the record: Whitpark/Halsey were named as seconding earlier). The chair asked for discussion, heard none, and the panel approved the recommendation by voice vote: "All those in favor say aye," members replied "Aye," and the item was sent to rules with a do-pass recommendation.

The committee did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript; the action appears to have been a voice vote and the chair announced the item's referral to rules.

What happens next: LC610425S will be considered by the rules committee per standard legislative procedure; the sponsor and staff will follow up with any technical clarifications requested in committee.
