The Senate Committee on Rules moved multiple resolutions and a bill amendment to the Senate floor during its April 21 meeting, taking formal committee action on memorials and a change in driver‑record address options for certain state employees.

House Concurrent Resolution 19 (memorial for the late Frank Smith, submitted by Sen. David Brock Smith) was moved to the Senate floor with a "be adopted" recommendation. Senator Manning (recorded as moving the motion) asked the committee to carry the measure to the floor; Brock Smith agreed to carry the resolution. The committee roll call recorded "Aye" votes from Senator Bolden, Senator Manning, Senator Patrick and Vice Chair Bonham; Chair Johnson was excused.

House Bill 2922 A — which adds State Parks and Recreation Department park managers and park rangers to the list of public employees who may request that the Department of Transportation driver or vehicle record contain the employee’s work address instead of a residential address — was moved to the floor with a due‑pass recommendation. Committee discussion noted a minimal fiscal impact and no revenue impact. The motion to move HB 2922 A passed on a voice/roll call recorded in committee with multiple "Aye" responses; Senator Manning agreed to carry the bill to the floor.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 29 (a memorial honoring Bill Thorndike) was moved to the floor with a "be adopted" recommendation. Testimony in support came from public officials and local nonprofit and university leaders. The committee recorded "Aye" votes including Senator Golden and others who were present; Chair Jarman was excused. Senator Golden agreed to carry the resolution to the full Senate.

House Concurrent Resolution 17, recognizing and honoring Cambodian Americans in Oregon and across the United States and memorializing victims of the Cambodian genocide, was moved to the floor with a "be adopted" recommendation. Representative Thuy Tran and community leaders testified; the committee roll call recorded "Aye" votes from several senators and assigned Senator Manning to carry the measure.

What the committee did not do: the Rules Committee did not take a vote on Senate Bill 1198 (packaging and OHA rulemaking for inhalant delivery systems) on April 21; that public hearing was opened and closed to receive testimony and no formal committee recommendation was recorded.
