Subcommittee reports SB 299 with substitute to match House Bill 430

The subcommittee reported Senate Bill 299 with a substitute conforming the Senate language to that of House Bill 430 after a substitute motion and roll call vote.

The chair opened the item by noting SB 299, patron Senator Srinivasan, has a cognate in the House and that, accordingly, the subcommittee would not take in-person or virtual testimony. A subcommittee member moved to report the bill; Delegate Lavier Bowling then moved a substitute to conform SB 299 to House Bill 430 and confirmed the change when asked, "That is correct," before the motion was seconded.

After the clerk opened and closed the roll, the subcommittee reported SB 299 with the substitute on a vote of 6 to 2. No public testimony was received on the measure during this meeting.

The action recorded was procedural reporting with substitution to align the Senate bill with its House cognate; the subcommittee did not take further action at this meeting.
