SB972 — SB 972 is introduced and described as modernizing licensing law for non-bank lenders by creating a streamlined licensing process, including an umbrella license for funds advised by a regulated investment manager and a new license category for SEC-registered investment advisors. Supportive testimony says the bill would expand loan capital, help businesses, and create jobs. The chair then asks for additional testimony, the committee moves the bill, restates the motion as due pass to the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the bill ultimately receives six votes and is reported out of committee.
Tim Grayson — Senator/Chair Grayson is addressed by the witness as chair and thanked for his leadership and staff support. He then appears in roll call, is invited to close on the matter, and responds with an aye vote.
Susan Rubio — The transcript appears to misrecognize a member name as 'Nilo/Nelo/Neillow'; likely Senator Rubio is being called, but this is uncertain.
Sabrina Cervantes — Senator Sabrina Cervantes is mentioned twice during procedural roll call activity: first as a quorum check call and then as part of the consent calendar vote tally, where her name is called and recorded as 'Aye.'
Shannon Grove — Senator Strickland is present for quorum, votes aye during roll call, and is later identified as making the motion for the consent calendar.
Kelly Seyarto — Called in the roll as 'Nilo'/'Neillow' in the transcript context; the vote was being tallied on the consent calendar.
Melissa Hurtado — Senator Melissa Hurtado was called during consecutive roll calls as part of the chamber’s procedural voting sequence, first for the consent calendar vote and then again during the SB 972 motion.
Eloise Reyes — Senator Eloise Reyes is called during the roll call for the consent calendar and again for the SB 972 motion, then is recorded as voting aye on SB 972.
Lori Wilson — Senator Lori Wilson is referenced repeatedly during the roll-call voting sequence: she is called during the consent calendar vote, appears again in the roll call for the SB 972 motion, and is ultimately recorded as voting aye on SB 972.
Tony Strickland — Recorded as voting aye during the consent calendar vote.
