During executive session the committee recorded voice votes to report two Senate bills out of committee with due‑pass recommendations.

Vice Chair Cher Street moved that Senate Bill 5682 be reported out of committee with a due‑pass recommendation. Representative Orcutt urged a yes vote, calling the customized employment training program “very, very important.” The committee approved the recommendation by voice vote; the clerk recorded 14 ayes, 0 nays and 1 excused. The committee recorded that SB 5682 extends the expiration date of the customized training program B&O tax credit and modifies a program report to the legislature. No amendments were offered.

The committee then moved to Senate Bill 5315. Vice Chair Street moved that SB 5315 be reported out of committee with a due‑pass recommendation. Representative Jacobson called it “a good government bill” and urged a yes vote; Representative Wallen noted it is companion to House Bill 1126 and described it as a Department of Revenue request to standardize notifications of local sales and use tax changes. The motion passed by voice vote with 14 ayes, 0 nays and 1 excused.

Both bills were reported out of committee with due‑pass recommendations and will advance according to the legislative process.
