Representative Vos rose to the point of order that Assembly amendment 1 to
Assembly Bill 862 was not properly before the Assembly because it was dilatory pursuant to Assembly Rule
69.
Speaker Pro Tempore Gottlieb ruled the point of order
well taken.
“Assembly Rule
69 grants the presiding officer the power to declare any motion or procedure that he or she believes is being used for the purpose of delay dilatory and out of order. In this instance, the procedure in question is the offering of an amendment to a proposal that accomplishes a purpose that is already accomplished in the proposal. If amendments are offered to proposals that accomplish the same purposes as the proposals in the same manner as the purposes are accomplished in the proposals, then the offering of such amendments is a dilatory procedure and is out of order."
Representative Travis 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.
