House Bill 128 was recommended by the Senate Rules and Operations committee to the Senate floor. House Bill 334 moved forward from the Senate Appropriations committee to Rules and Operations. Both bills represent early implementations of the gut-and-replace strategy in which senators removed legislation that passed the House and inserted unrelated legislation. That tactic typically is used toward the end of the legislative session, often as a means for jump-starting controversial legislation. The goal is for the Senate to pass the bills and then urge the House to accept the gut-and-replace changes. If the House chooses not to concur, a concurrence committee can be created to pursue a potential compromise.
