The conference committee on House Bill 1218 adopted conference committee amendment version 02/2006, voted to replace amendment 02/2002 with 02/2006 and then agreed to discharge the committee, members said during a meeting recorded in the transcript.

The committee first moved to reconsider its earlier action on version 02/2005; Representative Doctor made the motion and it passed on a voice vote. Members then considered amendment 02/2006. Senator Kessel moved a due-pass recommendation on the bill as amended (02/2006); Representative Novak seconded. The committee approved the amendment by voice vote and proceeded to a roll-call motion to replace amendment 02/2002 with 02/2006, which carried on a unanimous recorded vote of members present.

After the committee voted to adopt the replacement amendment, members indicated concurrence between the chambers and discussed who would carry the bill on the House side. Representative Novak agreed to carry the bill on the House consent calendar. The committee adjourned its meeting and later moved, seconded and approved a motion to dissolve or discharge the conference committee on House Bill 1218. Roll-call votes recorded in the transcript show Chairman Haggart, Representative Doctor, Representative Novak, Senator Engott, Senator Gearhart and Senator Kessel all voting yes on the final recorded motions.
