Senate receives committee reports and a long list of House messages; multiple bills moved to consent calendar

Committee chairs on the floor read reports recommending that a variety of Senate bills be considered the same and do pass; several committee chairs recommended that bills be placed on the consent calendar. Among committees reporting were Insurance and Banking, Emerging Issues and Professional Registration, Progress and Development, Education, Rules and Ethics, Veterans and Military Affairs, Agriculture, Transportation, General Laws, Judiciary and Civil and Criminal Jurisprudence, Families, Seniors and Health, Economic and Workforce Development, and Local Government, Elections and Pensions.

Specific bills the committees reported on included, by floor reading, items such as SB 8 34, SB 10 92, SB 13 28, SB 16 13, SB 9 05, SB 13 83, SB 9 59 and others. Chairs were named in each report as part of the clerk's reading and several reports recommended placement on the consent calendar.

The clerk also read a long list of House messages informing the Senate that the House had taken up and passed numerous House bills and substitutes (examples in the clerk27s reading include HB 2404, HB 2172, HB 1797, HB 1786, HB 2105, HB 2397, HB 2018, HB 2818, HB 1980, HB 2780, HB 2792, and more). The chief clerk, Joseph Engler, signed the reading as the official record.
