The Industry, Business and Labor Committee made several short procedural decisions during the session and recorded motions for committee recommendation to the floor.

House Bill 14‑93 (rescind Office of Legal Immigration): A member moved a do‑not‑pass recommendation; the motion was seconded and the committee debated whether the program was too new to terminate. Vice Chairman Osterly urged giving the program more time and metrics to evaluate; other members noted overlap with existing agencies. The committee recorded a majority vote in favor of the do‑not‑pass recommendation and designated a member to carry the bill to the floor.

House Bill 14‑86 (smart meters): The committee considered legislation addressing smart meters and alternatives. Members said utilities are working to accommodate customers with concerns about smart meters and that mandating a change in technology would be onerous. A motion for do not pass was made and seconded; the committee voted to recommend do not pass.

Nut graf: Several items received limited debate and were handled with motions for committee recommendation rather than extended amendments. The committee recorded the outcomes, then recessed to continue work on remaining bills.

Ending: The committee recorded votes and identified floor carriers for bills being advanced or recommended against; where roll‑call tallies and some absences were noted on the record, the transcript lists counts but the committee’s formal roll sheet will provide the official tally.
