Senators adopted an amendment to Senate Bill 10‑23 during committee on Feb. 20 that revises language in the measure to achieve consistent terminology. The amendment deletes a subsection and inserts a new subparagraph that replaces references to "federal rules" with "federal law."
Senator Foreman, explaining the change, said the edit was intended "to achieve consistency in terms used throughout the bill." There was no recorded opposition in the transcript, and the committee adopted the amendment by voice vote.
The committee returned Senate Bill 10‑23 as amended without recommendation and referred it to the Senate calendar for further consideration. The transcript shows voice votes—"ayes have it"—but does not include a roll‑call tally for the amendment or the committee report.
The amendment was presented as a technical wording change intended to align definitions and references within the bill; the transcript does not include additional policy detail or implementation steps tied to the wording change.
