The Georgia House rules committee approved a series of rule-substitute motions and set a rules calendar for Day 39, April 2, after brief explanations and no recorded opposition.

Committee members voted to withdraw an earlier substitute for Senate Bill 125 and adopt a revised substitute that clarifies plumbing work inside buildings. Whip Bichette explained the change, saying the substitute corrects language that had been read to bar plumbers from working "within 5 foot of a building and in a building." The substitute was approved with no opposition recorded.

The committee also adopted a rule substitute for Senate Bill 5 (now House Bill 124), which the sponsor said removes a prostate cancer screening provision and retains language about PANDAS (pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome). The committee set a rules calendar for Day 39, April 2, listing Senate Bill 5 under a modified structure.

Additional procedural motions to place Senate Bill 100, Senate Bill 125 (by rule substitute), and Senate Bill 173 on the calendar were moved and seconded and carried without recorded opposition.

Votes and formal actions were handled by voice and without a roll-call tally reported in the transcript. The committee adjourned to attend other committee meetings for the afternoon.

Ending: The committee indicated these actions will position the listed bills for floor consideration during the final week of the legislative session.
