Committee adopts amendment to SB 490, adds sunset clause and places bill on consent

Representative Page moved 'ought to pass' on SB 490 and proposed amendment 20261573h, which adds a sunset clause, adjusts language and clarifies the duties of a task force described in the bill. The amendment was offered to address concerns members raised and to add legislative mileage; the committee indicated support for those changes and adopted the amendment unanimously by show of hands.

The clerk then called the roll on the final 'ought to pass as amended' motion. Votes were recorded; Chairman Alexander announced the motion carried 14–0 and the committee placed SB 490 on the consent calendar.
