Committee approves annual corrections bill and sends it to the floor

Senator Limmer presented Senate File 3515, the committee's annual corrections bill, at a Rules Committee hearing on May 16 and the committee voted to send the bill to the Senate floor.

“Senate file 35 15 is the corrections bill. It's an annual bill as most of you know. This is the vehicle bill for corrections to any bill that has passed both bodies during the 2025 session this year,” Senator Limmer told the committee. He said changes in the bill can have substantive effect and that any amendments would be checked and approved before reaching the floor.

Limmer explained the bill was late only because the reviser's office had been very busy this year and the office prioritized other live legislation, so the corrections bill arrived at the committee at this time. “The reviser's office has been extremely busy this year,” he said.

Senator Johnson moved that Senate File 3515 “do pass and be referred to the floor.” The committee approved the motion by voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally.

The committee also discussed administrative planning for post-session work. Committee staff member Miss Stangel said there would likely be a post-session rules hearing to adopt the Senate employee roster, review interim travel items, and consider deferred-compensation match questions.

With the committee's approval, SF 3515 moves to the Senate floor for further consideration.
