The Senate passed Senate Bill 2019 on a morning roll call after a brief presentation on the chamber floor. Senator Younger, who called up the bill, said it "simply gets rid of the repealer" and does not alter how lottery proceeds are distributed beyond removing the scheduled cessation of transfers.

The bill’s title, read by the clerk, says the measure would delete the provision that ceases payment of lottery proceeds into the State Highway Fund effective July 1, 2028. Senator Younger described the allocation framework on the floor: "First 80,000,000. After 80,000,000, education gets the rest," and said that education received a bit more than $40,000,000 last year under the current arrangement.

With no questions from members, the presiding officer invited Senator Blanc to make the motion to pass the bill by morning roll call. The motion was made, no objections were recorded, and the presiding officer announced that the bill passed by use of the morning roll call. The transcript does not include an individual roll-call tally or any recorded 'yes' or 'no' votes by senator name.

The bill’s language as announced affects the timing of transfers into the State Highway Fund but, according to floor remarks, does not change the stated distribution formula allocating the first $80 million and any remaining proceeds to education. No amendments or contested debate on the measure were recorded in the available transcript.

Next steps for the bill (such as enrollment, signatures, or transmission to the other chamber) were not specified on the floor during this session.
