Committee sends SB 467 to interim study

The Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee voted to send Senate Bill 467 to interim study rather than advance it during the current session.

Chairman Roy opened the public hearing for SB 467 and invited the prime sponsor, Senator Ganon, to speak; members then determined the item was in executive session and moved to caucus. The chair later returned to executive session and moved to send SB 467 to interim study. The motion was seconded by Representative Harry Gatrite; the clerk called the role and announced a tally (reported in the record as '110').

Members said the measure requires more work after a similar bill in the House failed earlier in the session by a wide margin, and the committee opted to study the proposal further before bringing a revised version forward. The committee closed the executive session on the item and proceeded to other business.
