Committee advances bill supporting commuters and microtransit services to the floor

The Finance, Revenue and Bonding committee advanced Substitute Senate Bill 9, an act supporting commuters and microtransit services as amended, sending the measure to the legislative floor after a roll-call vote.

Chair Senator Kissel opened the session and read the agenda, then accepted a motion to move the substitute bill. Senator Cohen moved the motion and Representative Shannon seconded it. The committee took a roll-call vote and the clerk recorded members' responses; staff confirmed the item was set to go to the floor.

The vote was conducted by roll call and multiple members were recorded as voting in favor during the clerk’s call; the committee clerk confirmed members’ votes and that the matter was reported to the floor for further action. There was no extended debate on the measure in committee before the vote.

The committee recessed with votes left open until 11 a.m. and proceeded to other business after the SB9 vote was recorded.
