Jason Monks — Moved to introduce RS 33764.
Jason Monks — Asked how RS 33795 differs from the bill heard in Health and Welfare.
H0903 — Jordan Redmond, representing District 3 in Cootney County, presented RS 33764 and explained revisions made after concerns raised in committee, including changes related to setbacks and parking, then asked that it be introduced to business. He then presented RS 33795, described changes to SNAP-related language, argued that chips are junk food and should be excluded, noted that the updated version also removes chips, and said House Bill 903 is the replacement bill he wants moved to general orders.

Douglas Pickett — Moved to introduce RS 33795 with the chips deletion and send it to second reading.
Steve Berch — Steve Berch questioned why changes were made to RS 33795, then argued that chips are commonly served with meals and should not be broadly treated as junk food, and ultimately said the committee may be micromanaging and that he could not support the motion.
Ilana Rubel — Representative Rubel objected to the handling of the bill, arguing that the proposed changes were not so urgent that they could not wait and criticizing what she saw as an end run around the committee process. She later said the substitute motion was the appropriate path and reiterated that the committee had serious concerns about bypassing normal procedure, especially after the bill had just passed the previous day.
Monica Church — Representative Redmond acknowledged concerns raised in the discussion and said the issue could be taken up next year if necessary. He then clarified that the proposed changes are additions, meaning the items would be allowed to be added.
Jaron Crane — Representative Monks first questioned how the bill would affect toppings such as sprinkles, chocolate chips, and toffee bits, suggesting the bill would loosen current restrictions. He then moved to introduce RS 33795 as a substitute motion and clarified the motion by specifying an amendment to remove the word 'chips' from line 19.
