Committee sets supplemental calendar, advances several Senate bills by voice vote

The committee set and populated a supplemental calendar during the session, recording motions and seconds to move several Senate bills onto that calendar.

The moderator called motions to place bills including Senate Bill 33, Senate Bill 143, Senate Bill 175, Senate Bill 398 (and 400 referenced), Senate Bill 423, Senate Bill 437, and others. Most items were carried by voice vote after motions and seconds; the transcript records objections on a few items but the overall supplemental calendar was established.

The transcript also notes that a substitute to Senate Bill 552 (LC 40 80 S) was removed from a list at one point and that additional items (e.g., SB586) were included in the final supplemental calendar.

Why it matters: Supplemental-calendar placement advances items for further floor scheduling and signals which measures the committee expects to prioritize in the near term.

What’s next: Members were reminded to watch email and announcements; the committee adjourned and set the next meeting for Thursday at 9 a.m. on day 40.
