Senate advances bill to designate June 7 as Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day
Summary
The Senate suspended rules to consider legislation (2152) submitted by Cindy A. Freeman that would designate June 7 as Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day and ordered the measure to a third reading after a voice vote.
The Senate voted to suspend procedural rules and ordered legislation to a third reading that would designate June 7 as Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day.
The petition, identified in the clerk’s reading as 2152 and attributed to Cindy A. Freeman, was reported out by committee and taken up after the Senate agreed to suspend the rules to consider the matter forthwith. Nick Collins, speaking for the committee, presented the report recommending passage. After the suspension motion, the presiding officer declared, “All the ayes have it. And the bill is ordered to a third reading.”
Committee action and a voice vote moved the measure forward; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript. The Senate did not take a final floor vote on adoption during the recorded segment and the bill remains scheduled for further consideration at third reading.
The petition was handled under expedited procedures after members agreed to suspend the relevant rules, and the clerk was directed to advance the bill according to Senate practice.
