Votes at a glance: House passes several senate bills, refers others to engrossing

The Arizona House processed a slate of senate bills on March 26, adopting measures and handling committee reports before adjourning for the week.

Key outcomes at a glance:
• SB1125 (Department of Child Safety — Title 8, Ch.4, Art.1, section referenced in the reading): Passed, recorded vote 43 ayes, 4 nays, 13 not voting.
• SB1415 (insurance adjuster provisions, Title 20 recited): Passed, recorded vote 46 ayes, 1 nay, 13 not voting.
• SB1426: Considered in an additional Committee of the Whole, a floor amendment in Representative Wynne’s name was adopted in committee and the bill was reported 'do pass' as amended and referred to engrossing.
• SB1022, SB1127 and SB1181: The clerk reported committee recommendations that these senate bills 'do pass' and the measures were placed on the calendar and referred to engrossing.

Why it matters: The votes advance changes in child-safety statute language and insurance-regulation provisions and move other bills through committee processing. SB1426’s committee amendment and referral mean additional amended language will be considered as the bills move toward final floor action.

What’s next: Engrossing and additional floor steps or concurrence votes are the next procedural steps for the bills the House reported out; committees also announced additional meetings for further work during the coming week.
