Video, on the General Assembly's Vimeo channel: https://vimeo.com/1177002030. > This is a machine transcript of the General Assembly's video, made by a speech-recognition model. It is not an official record and can mishear words, names, and numbers. Speakers are not identified. The video is the record: every timestamp links to the moment it plays. ## Summary written by Georgia Commons Written by gpt-6.1-sol from the transcript below. It is not part of the record. Quote the transcript or the video, not the summary. The committee considered a motion to take [HB 183](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb183) off the table. A member asked what procedural options remained for the bill at this point in the session. The chair said the committee first needed to take it off the table before discussing it. After an initial voice vote, the chair called for a show of hands. The transcript does not state the result, and the meeting adjourned without substantive discussion of the bill. ## Bills discussed (1) Each account was written by gpt-6.1-sol from the stretch of the transcript it names. The bill's number is said in that stretch, unless it was the only bill on a committee's agenda. ### HB 183. Innkeepers; expand liens to cover property removed from a room upon the termination of a guest's contract [HB 183](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb183) (2025-2026 Regular Session). From [0:10:51](https://vimeo.com/1177002030#t=651s), turns 0 to 11. A motion to take the bill off the table received a second. A committee member asked what could happen procedurally if the bill were brought back for consideration this late in the session. The chair said the bill first had to be taken off the table before discussion could proceed. After an initial voice vote, the chair called for a show of hands because the voice response was weak. The transcript does not state whether the motion passed. The chair then adjourned the meeting, with no discussion of the bill’s substance. ## Transcript (12 turns) [0:10:42](https://vimeo.com/1177002030#t=642s) All right, I'm gonna call the meeting to order. Um, do I hear a motion to pull from the table House Bill 183? [0:10:54](https://vimeo.com/1177002030#t=654s) Moved. [0:10:55](https://vimeo.com/1177002030#t=655s) Second. [0:10:56](https://vimeo.com/1177002030#t=656s) All right, motion and a second. All those in favor say, "Aye." [0:10:59](https://vimeo.com/1177002030#t=659s) Aye. [0:11:00](https://vimeo.com/1177002030#t=660s) Aye. [0:11:00](https://vimeo.com/1177002030#t=660s) Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chair. If I may? [0:11:05](https://vimeo.com/1177002030#t=665s) Go ahead. [0:11:05](https://vimeo.com/1177002030#t=665s) Parliamentary inquiry. Um, we're all... Procedurally, I'm trying to understand where 183 could go at this particular day 37 or eight, whatever we are. Procedurally, what happens if this bill comes back on the table? [0:11:21](https://vimeo.com/1177002030#t=681s) I understand the confusion, but I gotta get it off the table before we can discuss it, so that's what I'm trying to do. All right? That was a rather weak yay, so I wanna count it, so let's do it by hand. All those in favor, raise your hand. [0:11:44](https://vimeo.com/1177002030#t=704s) All right. And those opposed. [0:11:48](https://vimeo.com/1177002030#t=708s) Okay. All right, we're adjourned.
