Where it stands
Senate: CONFERENCE REPORT ADOPTED
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

Committee reports
Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.
Committee — OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT
As amended, this bill is a compromise to provide clarity to both property owners and municipalities when multifamily dwelling units may be constructed above retail or office space. This is a follow up to HB 631 which was signed into law last year. The intent is not to expand or diminish local control. Instead this bill specifies what measures municipalities may take when evaluating road, water, or sewer infrastructure for these developments. Such scrutiny is in existing law but is not currently defined, this has the potential to generate frustration and unnecessary expenditures for both property owners and municipalities. Vote 17-0.
