LANSING
The committee took two formal actions at the start of the session. Representative Neyer moved to report Senate Bill 52 with recommendation; after a roll call the motion passed 14 yes, 1 no.
Later, Representative Preston moved to adopt substitute H‑2 for House Bill 5940. The committee adopted the substitute by roll call (15 yes, 0 nays) and then reported House Bill 5940 with recommendation as substitute H‑2 (15–0).
Clerk roll calls recorded votes individually; members who registered on the record for the SB 52 motion included Chair Outman and Representatives Alexander, Brock, Koontz, Neyer, Preston, Pouliot, Presby, Wurtz, Kersbergen, Koleszar, Andrews, Grant, Miller, and others as recorded. Pro and neutral testimony cards were noted earlier in the meeting for HB 5940 (Carly Knot, Michigan Environmental Council; Mac Albach, MDOT) but the committee took final action only on the substitute and the report.
The votes were procedural reporting actions and do not themselves enact the bills; both items will proceed according to committee rules for floor consideration.
