Notes on the record

- Where the transcript provided a numeric roll-call, that tally is quoted above.
- Where the transcript shows only the committee recommendation or a voice vote adoption in Committee of the Whole, this roundup marks the committee action and notes that the bill was referred to engrossing; the final third-reading numeric result (if any) was not included in the excerpt.

Representative Gress, the floor sponsor, said the bill \"is common sense\" and explained the measure seeks to bar drug dealing and possession inside shelters and similar programs. \"Drug dealers should face the consequences for their actions of preying upon vulnerable individuals who are seeking help,\" Gress said.

During committee consideration Representative Colledon pressed a technical point about individuals who are in shelters and who possess legally prescribed medication; the floor amendment adopted at the Committee of the Whole clarified that the measure does not bar possession of legally prescribed drugs by individuals using a shelter's services.

The Committee of the Whole adopted the sponsor's floor amendment and then recommended the bill as amended to do pass. The committee report was included in a package of bills referred to engrossing.

What the bill does: according to floor remarks, the bill prohibits possession and dealing of illegal drugs inside facilities that primarily serve people experiencing homelessness and subjects employees who knowingly violate no-drug policies to disciplinary consequences. The floor amendment clarified that legally prescribed medication for shelter clients is not covered by the prohibition; the transcript records that change but does not provide the bill's statutory text in full.

Recorded actions: the Commerce committee had recommended the bill (via the committee structure noted on the floor), the Committee of the Whole adopted a floor amendment to clarify prescription-medication exceptions, and the Committee of the Whole recommended House Bill 24-37 as amended do pass and referred it to engrossing.","Lawmakers advanced House Bill 24-37, which makes possession and dealing of drugs inside facilities that primarily serve people experiencing homelessness an offense and extends potential consequences to employees who knowingly violate no-drug policies; a floor amendment clarified legal medication exceptions.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6326647,"House committee advances Article V convention resolution as members trade sharp questions on scope and timing",840,3720000,4560000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2323846-b7a87ee33f09b2155762a10b1c4a67b8&start=3720&end=4560","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2323846-b7a87ee33f09b2155762a10b1c4a67b8/thumbnail_3720000.jpg","/articles/6326647/Arizona/House-committee-advances-Article-V-convention-resolution-as-members-trade-sharp-questions-on-scope-and-timing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6326647-67765ebf2c137a5847b80cba53545485/orig.mp4?Expires=1771151947&Signature=FDs68Uu3n8KP1yfgj0OH1rQQ6~~l9C0xljjiFNp8Icu3pd69zNwO5c434vr2-mO3BkXgXgjYu7gjAu1Fot8RlZ7MV30ajjNpkKW1NB8PDYqvX5YH9MkL0909zWod7U9F-ascMmLEBZaSqRGIpW~~KBpX43~w1Z44dk9TrhR2h9Dr4yw9~Jd4LvVmnRHjC0mi0HyCm1NBscbNV6ebU2~LC6Sr1Lviwo1zYyQu6DEhrOTAhskDCc3hR4EkJ7Rog9lY13-W5VXJSnbwN4XIsA2c~amzam5WvZvzIr681MytZps4guoszuKhM9e7sNcZpKmNKBSGAAK9JOwyrRDtlkvsaQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","House Concurrent Resolution 20-41, proposing an application to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, received a do-pass recommendation from the Committee of the Whole after extended floor statements both for and against the measure on Feb. 17, 2025.

Representative Montenegro, the resolution sponsor, framed the measure as a check on a \"runaway federal government,\" saying the founders gave state legislatures a tool in Article V to restrain federal power. \"We have the ability to do that,\" Montenegro said in his closing remarks, and he urged colleagues to \"flex our constitutional muscle.\"

Opponents raised questions about mechanics and timing. Representative Powell asked a series of procedural questions on the floor, including: \"Who would select delegates to the convention? Will the people be able to block appointment of a delegate?\" Powell warned that Article V could have unpredictable consequences and quoted national figures who had criticized calling a convention to propose amendments.

Representative Fink argued the problem is federal overreach and said states should act to push back through established constitutional means; he described nullification-type approaches and urged state action short of a convention.

On the floor, the Committee of the Whole recommended HCR 20-41 \"do pass,\" and the committee report was included with a batch of measures referred to engrossing. The transcript shows the Committee of the Whole recommendation and floor debate, but a final roll-call third-reading tally for HCR 20-41 is not recorded in the provided excerpt.

Why it matters: An Article V application from states is a constitutional mechanism with historical precedent; supporters said it is a tool to prompt federal action or amendments, while critics warned about open-ended risks and the lack of procedural safeguards in the resolution language.

Recorded actions: Committee of the Whole recommended HCR 20-41 do pass; the House report referred it to engrossing for further floor consideration.","A House concurrent resolution invoking Article V drew extended floor discussion about who would select delegates, how a convention would be limited, and the political timing of a convention call; the Committee of the Whole recommended the measure for a do-pass report.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6326649,"House committee advances bill aimed at 'integrity' of vital records after heated floor debate",421,3314000,3735000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2323846-b7a87ee33f09b2155762a10b1c4a67b8&start=3314&end=3735","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2323846-b7a87ee33f09b2155762a10b1c4a67b8/thumbnail_3314000.jpg","/articles/6326649/Arizona/House-committee-advances-bill-aimed-at-integrity-of-vital-records-after-heated-floor-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6326649-c7e9fbd531ead3ce548b25e066df30c2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771151947&Signature=QVZleJzMlHKRsQ-UB1WQtwSvZSKbfpbChFxF78Oe6utE6ZvVkxUNa2Ef-EzxOl5KyRUFKfsV3d2NfLkKrgj2BqexYbUr1Rs4gmMY0hYzAs9EfSnG-3tfjVftK9yRDrlJ~TOVGgPMr4QOt89DlzSi-jei-m1WAJ8Q5hdVmi9p4vbOQ41RJPVzQ1Vlxcsyml-4ytjBN-mqej~D6yl-Wz2Z9LDCzWiPTYlJjstA8ecKfd-EkZKceh3ue5r4lWBJ0TAzB98wUHgHOnPBJP1wv9qET6iGF95uaQqlP2bI3oLkPjkjxUoryR7smnOaKfnd9eGBJ4Fu2wSQVHN2RW19vGncrA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","House Bill 24-38, a judiciary committee measure the House described as aligning state law with a court decision, received a committee-of-the-whole recommendation to pass as amended after floor debate on Feb. 17, 2025.

Supporters, including Representative Keshall, said the bill is limited in scope. \"All that this bill does is it protects the integrity and accuracy of vital records,\" Representative Keshall said on the floor, and she urged members to vote for the measure.

Opponents raised broader concerns during a lengthy floor comment period. Representative Contreras delivered an extended historical survey of individuals who presented or lived as a gender different from their sex assigned at birth; in closing he said, \"I vote I urge a no vote on this bill.\" Representative Contreras said the bill touched on sensitive identity and records issues and questioned whether the changes were warranted without clearer statutory guidance.

The bill was accompanied by a judiciary committee amendment that the committee reported as adopted in the Committee of the Whole. Representative Wynne moved the judiciary amendment and the House adopted it on voice vote during the Committee of the Whole session.

The committee record on the floor shows that the Committee of the Whole \"recommends that House Bill 24-38 as amended do pass.\" That recommendation was reported out to the full House and the measures were referred to engrossing as part of a batch of bills recommended by the Committee of the Whole.

The transcript records committee action and floor debate but does not show a roll-call final third-reading vote for this bill in the excerpt provided. The discussion on the floor included references to a court decision in August 2020 that was described as raising constitutional issues with the prior statutory scheme; the transcript did not identify the case by name.

What happens next: the House report recommends the bill as amended; the bill was placed with other measures for engrossing. If taken to third reading, the House would need to schedule and record a final roll-call vote to enact or reject it.

Votes and formal actions on this item recorded in the transcript: the Committee of the Whole recommended HB 24-38 as amended for a do-pass report; the amendment proposed in judiciary was adopted in committee and reported to the House.","Lawmakers in the Arizona House debated and moved forward House Bill 24-38, described by its sponsor as a measure to \"protect the integrity and accuracy of vital records,\" amid extended remarks from members opposed to the bill and references to a 2020 court case.","actionData","errors"]
