Four bills were presented to the caucus and placed on the consent calendar with limited discussion in the provided transcript excerpt.

SB 1105 (medical marijuana dispensary locations): Presenter said the bill prohibits nonprofit medical marijuana dispensaries from locating within 500 feet of a childcare facility or a facility that provides preschool programs; the rule would apply to any nonprofit medical-dispensary registration certificate or marijuana-establishment license issued on or after the bill’s effective date. The presenter noted the bill contains a Proposition 105 clause requiring a three-fourths vote of 45 votes. A ranking member called the measure “a clarifying bill” with no concerns.

SB 1246 (child-neglect exception — financial resources): Presenter said the bill expands the exemptions for neglect to include instances in which a parent, guardian or custodian cannot provide supervision, food, clothing, shelter or medical care solely because of lack of financial resources. The presenter placed the bill on the consent calendar and offered to answer questions; no further discussion was recorded.

SB 1225 (instruction on Sept. 11 education day): Presenter said the bill would limit instruction provided on Sept. 11 Education Day to age-appropriate content for students in grades 7–12 and would remove language that required each public school to dedicate a portion of the school day to education on the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The bill includes an emergency clause and was placed on the consent calendar; one caucus member said the bill illustrates why the legislature should not mandate instruction and that curriculum approvals should go through the State Board of Education.

SB 1040 (recall elections procedures and timeline): Presenter said the bill extends deadlines in the recall election process to give county recorders more time to prepare ballots and deems invalid nomination-petition signatures collected before the recall application or before a candidate files nomination papers. The presenter said the bill was on third-read consent; no further debate or vote was recorded in the excerpt.

Votes and next steps: All four items were shown on the consent calendar or third-read consent in the transcript excerpt. The transcript does not record a formal vote or final outcome for these bills; presenters indicated availability to answer questions.
