A state house resolution to censure a local representative passed through committee with bipartisan support.
The state house rules committee voted 33 to 0 to advance a resolution to censure representative Aaron Bernstine.
A censure has no legislative consequences. Bernstine can remain a member of the house, continue voting, and if placed back on committees, he could serve his duties fully.
The resolution claims that due to several different incidents, Bernstine has fallen below the expected standard of conduct.
This action comes weeks after Berstine was accused of making anti-gay and offensive comments about another state lawmaker.
