The Assembly Rules Committee advanced joint rule 61 waivers for SB 960 and SB 1370 on Aug. 19 after pulling the items off the consent agenda for separate votes.
According to the meeting record, the committee first handled the consent agenda and then removed items 5 and 6, which were the waiver requests for the two Senate bills. The committee then voted to approve both waivers by recorded vote.
The record shows Dixon voted no on the waiver items, while the other members recorded in the vote voted aye.
The available meeting summary does not explain why the two items were removed from consent, or what policy subject either bill covers. The action does, however, document a procedural step that moves both bills forward for further consideration.
