The Labor & Commerce Committee conducted executive action on several bills after closing public testimony.

Key actions recorded in the transcript:

- Engrossed House Bill 16 02 (food service options for liquor licenses): Chair Saldana moved and the committee gave the bill a due-pass recommendation to the Rules Committee. The motion carried by voice vote; numeric tallies were not specified.

- Second Substitute House Bill 15 15 (expanded outdoor alcohol service and temporary event authority): The committee adopted a striking amendment that incorporated Senator Saldana’s and Senator Alvarado’s changes (the committee withdrew one amendment and adopted an amended striking amendment labeled A2 to align expiration dates). The committee then rolled the amendment into a new striking amendment and moved the bill with a due-pass recommendation to the Ways & Means Committee. The motion carried by voice vote; numeric tallies were not specified.

- House Bill 17 22 (secondary career education — allows 16-year-olds to begin EMT training and addresses related age restrictions): Committee moved the bill to the Rules Committee with a due-pass recommendation by voice vote; numeric tallies were not specified.

- The committee held (did not advance) Senate Bill 57 86 (liquor license fee increases) and Engrossed Substitute House Bill 15 33 for further work; staff indicated fiscal notes and amendment work remained.

Procedural action later in the hearing: the committee voted to suspend the five-day notice rule to permit immediate consideration of Engrossed Substitute House Bill 16 22 and Engrossed Substitute House Bill 15 51; the motion carried by voice vote.

Several bills were reported earlier in the hearing by committee staff but not acted on during the executive-action block; those included House Bill 16 98 (liquor permit and licensing updates), House Bill 13 47 (cannabis testing laboratories) and House Bill 16 36 (removal of 24-liter per-transaction limit). Where staff reported prior House votes, staff noted: HB 16 98 passed the House 95–0; HB 13 47 passed the House 95–2; HB 16 36 passed the House 91–5.

All recorded committee floor actions in the transcript were taken by voice vote; the transcript records members answering “aye” or “no” but does not list roll-call tallies.
