Mr. President, this budget makes critical investments for our state, our state parks, our emergency preparedness, and our natural systems. It’s a good budget, and I urge my colleagues to vote “yes.” The following bill was read a third time: Senate Bill No. 191, entitled A bill to make appropriations for the department of corrections for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024; and to provide for the expenditure of the appropriations. The question being on the passage of the bill, Senator McBroom offered the following amendment: 1. Amend page 46, following line 5, by inserting: “Sec. 715. Pursuant to part F in policy directive 04.01.110, the 72 hour advance notice required by the department for any prison visit or tour shall not apply to a currently elected and serving member of the Michigan legislature. Legislators must inform the warden of the intended visit and must be allowed entrance to the correctional facility without the required 72 hour notice.”. The question being on the adoption of the amendment, Senator Lauwers requested the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered, 1/5 of the members present voting therefor. The amendment was not adopted, a majority of the members serving not voting therefor, as follows:
