Senate advances first substitute to Senate Bill 127 by 28–0 vote; adjourns until 10 a.m.
Summary
The State Senate recorded a 28–0 vote with one absence to advance the first substitute for Senate Bill 127 for a third reading, and the chamber subsequently voted to adjourn until 10:00 a.m. the following day.
A first substitute to Senate Bill 127 was advanced in the State Senate after the chamber recorded 28 'aye' votes, 0 'nay' votes and one member absent, and was ordered to be read a third time.
During a brief floor exchange before the vote, an unidentified speaker thanked the bill sponsor and said the measure “gives some protection to these young…children” who are “in these camps,” adding, “I think it’s extremely important.” The remark signaled at least one member’s public support for the substitute as it moved forward.
An unidentified chamber officer announced the official tally and directed that the first substitute be read a third time. No roll-call tally listing individual votes for or against was recorded in the transcript beyond the aggregate count. The transcript includes a procedural reading of member names immediately before the vote.
After advancing the bill, a motion was made and seconded to adjourn the session until 10:00 a.m. the next morning. The chamber approved the adjournment by voice vote; the presiding officer declared the motion carried and said, “We are adjourned.”
The transcript does not record additional debate on the substitute, the text of the substitute was not provided in the transcript, and there was no recorded statement identifying who moved or seconded either the motions to advance the bill or to adjourn. The number of members recorded as present or the identity of the absent member were not specified in the transcript.
