Where it stands
House: INTERIM STUDY
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.
In practice this often ends a bill's progress for the term.

Committee — REFER FOR INTERIM STUDY
Last biennium, the Legislative Administration Committee worked extensively on legislation that restructured how the Legislative Youth Advisory Council operates due to several years of poor quality output. These changes made just last term included the narrowing of the subject matter the council members are to focus and report on, as well as reducing the number of overall appointments to the council. Since then, the council has yet to meet or do any of the fundamental work of evaluating pending legislation from the youth perspective and testify to the various legislative committees. In fairness, a number of new appointments requested of the Speaker’s Office remain in process. But rather than working to hit the ground running when that opportunity rises, it would appear their efforts have been instead to further refine the recently passed and untested restructuring documents. The unanimous position of the committee that an Interim Study motion would provide the council the rest of this legislative year to meet and work on pending legislation and next year, with a solid performance record, we may reconsider any additional reforms of the council. Vote 11-0.
