Chair Marzola opened a work session on Senate Bill 173 and said the speaker had waived the 24-hour rule so the committee could act. The chair noted the committee would consider two proposed amendments and that the purpose of the work session is to take action on measures previously heard.

Assembly member Kasama recorded a no vote and explained the reason on the record: she said she supported many aspects of the bill — disposable utensils, tree and heat mitigation provisions — but had concerns about Section 24 relating to manufacturers. "I just feel like we're not giving them enough time or options for other products," Kasama said. "That's why, unfortunately ... I will be voting no."

The chair called the voice vote on the motion; members voted aye and the chair recorded nays specifically from Assembly member Kasama, Urich, Cole and Hardy. The motion passed and the chair assigned the floor statement to Assembly member Roth. The committee then closed the work session.
