During my absence this morning, the Assembly held a voice vote on two Assembly Bills, Assembly Bill 204 and Assembly Bill 388. I also missed a recorded vote for Assembly amendment 1, offered by Representative Schneider, for Senate Bill 197.
I would like to be recorded as voting "No" to tabling of Assembly amendment 1 to Senate Bill 197.
Thank you.
Tom Hebl
State Representative
46th Assembly District
