Representative Foti moved that Assembly Bill 441 be withdrawn from the committee on Judiciary and referred to the committee on Rules.
__________________
Representative Hubler rose to the point of order that the motion to withdraw
Assembly Bill 441 from the committee on
Judiciary and refer it to the committee on
Rules required a two-thirds vote under Assembly Rule
15(1). Pursuant to
Senate Joint Resolution 1, the bill died at the conclusion of the last floorperiod on March 26, 1998. When the bill was revived, pursuant to
Senate Joint Resolution 47, the 21-day period required by Assembly Rule
15(1) would have to begin again. Therefore, the bill had only been in committee for 14 days.
Speaker Pro Tempore Freese ruled the point of order
not well taken because the Assembly concurred in
Senate Joint Resolution 47 which states "...the following proposals are revived for further consideration in the April 1998 extraordinary session, which consideration shall begin at the stage that the proposals had reached immediately before adjournment on March 26, 1998". Therefore, he ruled that a two-thirds vote was not needed because the 21-day period required by Assembly Rule
15(1) began on July 1, 1997 when the bill was introduced and referred to the committee on
Judiciary.
Representative Hubler appealed the ruling of the Chair.
The question was: Shall the ruling of the Chair stand as the ruling of the Assembly?
The roll was taken.
The result follows:
Ayes - Representatives Ainsworth, Albers, Brandemuehl, Dobyns, Duff, Foti, Freese, Gard, Goetsch, Green, Grothman, Gunderson, Hahn, Handrick, Harsdorf, Hoven, Huebsch, Hutchison, Jeskewitz, Johnsrud, Kaufert, Kedzie, Kelso, Klusman, Kreibich, Ladwig, F.
