Senate Finance subcommittee accepts proviso recommendations and authorizes technical edits

The Senate Finance Committee’s Transportation Regulatory Subcommittee met to consider provisos and, by unanimous consent, accepted the subcommittee chairman’s recommendations and authorized staff to make technical edits before forwarding the packet to the full committee.

Senator Grooms, identified in the transcript as the subcommittee chairman, told members they had reviewed the packet and asked for unanimous consent to accept the recommendations "as presented." He then asked that staff be permitted to make any technical changes after review and that those edits be included in the packet sent to the full committee: "I'd also like to ask unanimous consent that we allow staff to make any technical, changes, after reviewing our work here, and those technical changes be included as part of the packet that we recommend to the full committee."

The clerk asked whether there were any objections; none were raised on the record. The clerk called for affirmation and recorded members answering "aye" on the voice call. The clerk thanked staff, saying the response reflected "full faith and confidence in our staff."

The clerk invited anyone who wanted to review the proviso text to meet with staff for details. Senator Grooms then moved to adjourn, and the subcommittee adjourned.

The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or provide a meeting date; recorded approvals were taken by unanimous-consent / voice affirmation on the record.
