On April 25, 2006, Senator Kanavas raised a point of order that Senate Amendment 1 to Senate Substitute Amendment 3 to
Senate Bill 483 is not germane and, therefore, is not in order under Senate Rule
50. The Chair took the point of order under advisement.
The ruling of the Chair is that Senate Amendment 1 is germane.
Amendment 1 is relevant to the subject matter of the original proposal because it directly relates to investment in broadband internet services. The amendment allows for cooperatives, like telecommunications companies, the opportunity to help provide and increase the use of broadband internet services.
The amendment does not substantially expand the scope of the proposal because the amendment allows for cooperatives, as well as telecommunications companies, to expand the availability of broadband internet service throughout the state, which is the purpose of Senate Bill 483.
As a result, the amendment is germane under Senate Rule
50. Therefore, the Chair rules the point of order not well taken.
Senator Kanavas appealed the ruling of the Chair.
The question was: Shall the decision of the chair stand as the judgement of the Senate?
The ayes and noes were required and the vote was: ayes, 22; noes, 11; absent or not voting, 0; as follows:
Ayes - Senators Breske, Brown, Carpenter, Coggs, Cowles, Darling, Decker, Ellis, Erpenbach, S. Fitzgerald, Grothman, Harsdorf, Jauch, A. Lasee, Lazich, Miller, Olsen, Reynolds, Roessler, Schultz, Stepp and Zien - 22.
Noes - Senators Hansen, Kanavas, Kapanke, Kedzie, Lassa, Leibham, Plale, Risser, Robson, Taylor and Wirch - 11.
Absent or not voting - None.
The decision of the Chair stands as the judgement of the Senate.
Senator Kanavas moved that Senate amendment 1 to Senate substitute amendment 3 to Senate Bill
483 be laid on the table.
The question was: Shall Senate amendment 1 to Senate substitute amendment 3 to Senate Bill
