Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs reconvenes and approves S2 as amended, 12-1
Summary
The Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs committee reconvened from April 2 and voted 12-1 to approve S2 as amended; Mr. Gilliard cast the sole dissent, citing job losses and service-quality concerns.
The Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs committee reconvened from its April 2 session and voted to approve S2 as amended, 12 in favor and 1 opposed.
The committee reconvened to complete a roll call that had been started the previous day. Miss Fears was asked to call the roll; the clerk later reported the tally as 12-1, with one member absent.
Mr. Gilliard, a committee member, offered a brief statement explaining his vote against the measure. "I just wanna explain why I voted against it, because I just feel that, it will cost jobs, and it will render, quality of service will come under scrutiny, and I just don't think we should be about that," he said.
The roll call recorded Mister Beach as absent. Members recorded as voting in favor were Bustos; Brandon Cox; Davis; Edgerton; Holman; Jones; Magnuson; Montgomery; Pace; Sanders; Sessions; and Waters. The clerk reported the final count as 12 in favor and 1 against.
No further debate or amendments were recorded in the transcript excerpt. After the vote the presiding member closed the reconvened session and indicated members would proceed to the State House.
Details about the contents of S2 as amended were not specified in the transcript provided.
