The House Committee on Education voted to report seven Senate bills to the full House during a committee session, committee members said. Chair of the House Committee on Education opened the roll call and led the votes on the docket, and the clerk recorded each tally.

Committee members reported the following actions: Senate Bill 7 71 (identical to a House measure) was reported 17–0; Senate Bill 9 68 (identical to a House measure) was reported 16–2; Senate Bill 10 34 was amended and then reported 19–0; Senate Bill 7 84 (identical to House Bill 2,454) was reported 11–8; Senate Bill 7 38 was reported as substituted 14–5; Senate Bill 10 32 (identical to House Bill 19 15) was reported 10–9; and Senate Bill 10 48 (identical to House Bill 16 78) was reported 14–5. The clerk recorded each roll call as the chair asked members to cast their votes.

The committee noted at the start that patrons did not need to appear in person for this docket; the chair congratulated Delegate LaVir Bowling on the birth of her child and said patrons had been told they did not need to be present. Committee members recorded one amendment (to Senate Bill 10 34) and one substitute (to Senate Bill 7 38) before reporting those measures to the full House. The committee completed its docket and said it would monitor the calendar to decide whether the full House would meet Monday or whether the committee would move into subcommittee; members said an announcement would be issued by Friday.

No individual roll-call votes by member name were read into the transcript for the measures beyond the tallies reported by the clerk. Motions to report or to adopt substitutes/amendments were described as “made and properly seconded”; the transcript did not identify the movers or seconders by name for these motions. The transcript records the committee adjourning after a motion to adjourn carried with one nay.

Because the measures were reported out of committee, they will advance to the next stage of House consideration. The committee did not adopt any final amendments beyond the single amendment and substitute noted on the docket, and the transcript contains no other substantive debate on the bills themselves.
