Committee moves technical HB 11 91 to Committee of the Whole and places it on the consent calendar

Senators in the committee moved and approved a procedural motion to send House Bill 11 91 (recorded in sponsor remarks as a language cleanup) to the Committee of the Whole. The sponsor described the bill as a technical change that makes review of State Education Fund expenditures on capital construction projects discretionary rather than mandatory.

The sponsor said the measure "is simply a language cleanup" and noted it should have been made in 2021. After brief sponsor remarks and no public testimony, a motion to move the bill was made and a roll‑call poll recorded several senators voting "aye" with two members excused; the chair stated the bill passed unanimously and the sponsor requested placement on the consent calendar.

The committee took no further action on the bill in that hearing; it will advance through regular committee and floor processes as part of the consent calendar if not removed.
