Point of order:
Representative Shabaz rose to the point of order that Representative Johnson could not be appointed to the committee of conference on Senate Bill 63 pursuant to Sections 45 and 46 of Jefferson's Manual because he had voted "Aye" on receding from the assembly's position on assembly amendment 1.

Senate Bill 63, he did not support assembly amendment 1, and therefore, could not represent the position of the majority of the assembly.
