Senate committee adopts amendment to Concurrent Resolution 4019 on unanimous recorded vote

The North Dakota Senate Education Committee adopted an amendment to Senate Concurrent Resolution 4019 on a recorded committee vote of 5 yeas, 0 nays, 1 not voting. The amendment corrects drafting language in the resolution, including changing a numeric reference from 40 to 50 years and inserting a clarified historical reference to the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, later authorized as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

The amendment was moved by Senator Bosche and seconded (motion noted in the record). After brief consideration the committee opened and closed the vote; the clerk recorded five members voting yes, none voting no, and one member not voting. Committee members commented that the amendment was timely and appropriate to correct the drafting errors and to align the resolution with federal statutory names.

The chair announced the amendment had passed and the committee then moved to a do‑pass as amended motion on the concurrent resolution. The committee reported the amendment and the do‑pass action to be carried forward for further consideration.
