SB 1489 reported out by subcommittee after brief presentation; bill and companion now identical
Sen. Bagby presented SB 1489 to the subcommittee, and the panel voted 5–3 to report the bill after brief discussion and legal clarification that current versions in each chamber are identical.

Attorney Sharp told the committee that the house version had referred to exempting state buildings while the Senate bill referred to institutions of higher education; the two versions have since been conformed and are now identical, with non‑substantive phrasing differences remaining. Sen. Bagby acknowledged the bills were aligned and the subcommittee took no additional public testimony on this item.

A motion to report SB 1489 carried 5–3; Delegate Simon moved to report the bill and the clerk recorded the vote as 5 in favor, 3 opposed. The subcommittee recorded the action and will send the bill forward according to the legislative process.
