The House State Affairs Committee approved SB1353 this morning on a party-line vote, 13-5.

After two days of testimony, the committee voted for Rep. Crane's motion to send the bill to the floor with a "do-pass" recommendation. Democrats Higgins and King made substitute motions to kill and/or amend the legislation. Those motions failed both failed 4-14.

The legislation will now go to the House floor for final legislative action.
