- Senator MacGregor moved that the bill be given immediate effect.
The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.
The Senate agreed to the title of the bill.
Senator Stamas asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Stamas’ statement is as follows:
Before you are budget bills that will restore many of the line items vetoed and transferred by the Governor in October. This will restore funding to treat Alzheimer’s, autism, and opioid addiction; funding for local police departments, hospitals, and local governments; funding for scholarships promised to college students; funding for charter and rural schools to teach our children; and funding for foster care programs and programs to investigate child abuse. While this does not restore all of the Governor’s vetoes and transfers, it is a good first step in the right direction. It is my hope this is the last time any of these programs are caught in the political crossfire. I ask for each of the members’ support in passing these bills.
