Rules Committee approves urgency clause for SB 113 after roll-call vote

The Rules Committee voted to adopt an urgency clause for SB 113 after members conducted a roll-call vote.

The chair asked for a motion on item number 1, described in the meeting as the urgency clause request for SB 113; the motion was seconded and the secretary conducted a roll-call. The secretary announced individual responses; the record shows one member voting no while the remaining recorded responses were in the affirmative. The chair announced, "Motion passes and rules committee is now adjourned." The transcript does not record the identity of the motion maker or the second.

Why it matters: an urgency clause, when adopted, typically accelerates the effective timing of legislation or signals expedited consideration in the legislative process. The committee's adoption of the urgency clause creates a distinct committee-level record for SB 113 and may affect subsequent scheduling. The transcript does not detail debate on the substance of SB 113 itself.
