The Appropriations Committee recorded final roll-call votes on three bills with limited floor discussion during the May committee session.
- Substitute for House Bill 7214, “an act concerning maternal health,” was moved and recorded as approved by the committee. Members who raised procedural questions confirmed to the committee that the bill was not currently included in the budget before voting. Several members who had earlier voted against HB5002 said they supported this measure.
- Substitute for Senate Bill 7, “an act concerning protections for access to health care and the equitable delivery of health care services in the state,” as amended by Senate amendment schedule A, was moved and recorded as approved. Representative Nuccio and several colleagues recorded “no” votes; other members recorded affirmative votes.
- Substitute for Senate Bill 1487, “an act concerning transportation network companies and third‑party delivery companies,” as amended by Senate amendment schedule A, was moved and recorded as approved. Committee members confirmed the bill was not in the budget and proceeded to a roll-call vote.
The committee kept votes open until 3 p.m. and the administrator worked to capture votes from members joining late by phone or Zoom. For all three items, the committee recorded individual member votes during the roll calls; roll-call excerpts in the transcript show members voting both in the affirmative and negative during the session. The committee then closed votes and proceeded to wrap up the meeting.
