- Senator Outman’s statement is as follows: Mr. President, a transparent and open judicial system is key to maintaining public trust. Removing tracking metrics and funding for statewide court transparency undermines the fundamental principles of accountability upon which our legal framework is built. I hope we can reconsider this course of action and instead seek ways to enhance transparency. Doing so will strengthen public confidence in the integrity of our judicial system. I ask for a “no” vote. The following bill was read a third time: Senate Bill No. 756, entitled A bill to make appropriations for the department of corrections for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025; and to provide for the expenditure of the appropriations. The question being on the passage of the bill, Senator Outman offered the following amendment: 1. Amend page 2, line 21, after “program” by striking out “14,814,600” and inserting “17,314,600” and adjusting the subtotals, totals, and section 201 accordingly.
