Joint Committee Vote on SB281 Friday

[Straightshooter]

Overflow room.

 

[Knuckle66]

Not outside of the building.

I mean online. I can't find the link that they use to stream the sessions with. I thought I had it saved but I guess I don't.

 

[Straightshooter]

Del Dwyer just advise that the heating is NOT being streamed live.

 

[DrSockMonkey]

That worries me.

Other thread said this is going VOICE VOTE. How much more hidden can our government get?

Can someone with a little more understanding of the political process explain to me why a house committee is voting on a senate bill? What happened to HB294?

 

[OCSlacker]

My understanding is that HB294 was pushed to the side and the House took on SB281. It's in committee in the house right now where they can and probably will amend the bill. It can then be voted down in the committee or voted out of committee (bad) and sent to the floor where I believe they go through 3 readings and eventually voted on it. If the bill is passed and ends up being drastically different than the one the senate passed then they have the reconcile the differences.

The house bill was dumped in favor of the senate bill. Now they are amending the senate bill.

I....don't understand. Isn't it the entire point of having a house, and a senate that they have to pass their own bills than reconcile any differences? Isn't it....against the law for the house to just "take up" the senate bill without it being introduced and go through the process of being a house bill? Are they just conveniently skipping that whole process in the house right now?

Senate passed their bill with amendments, earlier this month. The House Joint Committee decided to take up the Senate bill since they added amendments and add additional amendments to it in hopes of having less work to do in conference committee. Perfectly legal and legit, but it is still going to be a major issue for the Senate and conference committee will be fun.

Absolutely. I hope you are not disappointed.

I'm facilitating a CPR class in Baltimore until noonish, then will get there.

Where we're you when they redid that vote on Smigiel's amendment??? The blood pressure in that room was palpable.
