During the Feb. 14 executive session the Senate Housing Committee took formal actions on three bills and sent each to the Ways and Means Committee with due‑pass recommendations.
- SB 5,469: Committee adopted Proposed Substitute A (sponsor: Senator Solomon) that narrowed the bill’s reach to avoid capturing public rent‑estimate products and added a private right of action; the committee then moved a due pass recommendation to Ways & Means. Committee discussion referenced concerns from online listing services and the desire to reduce the attorney general’s sole enforcement role.
- SB 5,580: Committee moved that the bill receive a due‑pass recommendation and be sent to the Ways & Means Committee. The bill would create a corporate homeowner registration program and require registration by entities owning 20 or more housing units in the state; a fiscal note is available.
- SB 5,587: Committee adopted Proposed Substitute B (sponsor: Senator Bateman) which removed a provision prohibiting denial of affordable housing developments and refocused the bill on research measuring housing gaps by income bands and prioritization of infill development for the public works board; the substitute received a due‑pass recommendation to Ways & Means.
Votes were taken by voice; the committee record in the transcript shows adoption and due‑pass motions and that each measure passed “subject to signatures.” The transcript did not record roll‑call tallies or individual member votes.
