Point of order:
Representative Plache rose to the point of order that Assembly substitute amendment 1 to Assembly Bill 1, September 1995 Special Session was not germane under Assembly Rule 54(3)(f).
Speaker Pro Tempore Freese took the point of order under advisement.
Assembly Journal of September 27, 1995 .......... Page: 508
Ruling on the point of order:
Speaker Pro Tempore Freese ruled not well taken the point of order raised by Representative Plache that Assembly substitute amendment 1 to Assembly Bill 1, September 1995 Special Session was not germane because the bill and the substitute amendment have virtually the same relating clause except eliminated the room tax and the highway infrastructure which, according to Assembly Rule 54(4)(c), is germane because it was limiting the scope of the proposal.
Assembly Bill 1, September 1995 Special Session created a local professional baseball park district in certain jurisdictions that is made up of multi counties contiguous to that county and that is two counties.
Assembly substitute amendment 1 also establishes a professional baseball park made up of multi counties that are contiguous and that is five counties.
Both the bill and the substitute amendment have components that deal with governance those differences that are within the components are different based on a particularized details of the jurisdictions. Both refer to jurisdiction in the plural.
Assembly Bill 1, September 1995 Special Session and Assembly substitute amendment 1 are both germane to the special session call. Where in fact, on the previous ruling dealing with the luxury box should have taken this point into consideration.
In the previous ruling of Assembly amendment 23 to Assembly substitute amendment 1, I neglected to include in that ruling that the amendment is not germane to the call under Assembly Rule 93(1) because no proposal may be considered by the Assembly unless they are germane to the session. We established that it was an expansion based on the fact we had a one tenth of one percent local taxing jurisdiction compared to the amendment that was offering to do a 5.5% in most taxing jurisdictions or most counties and was available to do in all 72 counties if there were indeed a professional type of facility that would use the luxury sky box or that type of system so it was an expansion because it not only raised it from one-tenth of one percent at a local jurisdiction but it was establishing 5.5% statewide sales tax opportunity.
Assembly amendment 23 to Assembly substitute amendment 1 also is dramatically different from the standpoint that it is an expansion, Assembly substitute amendment 1 is dealing with particularized details in the fact that we're dealing with a multi county jurisdiction in both the substitute and the bill.
Representative Plache 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 vote was: Ayes-52, Noes-47. Motion carried.
[Note:] Assembly Rule 54 (3) Assembly amendments that are not germane.
