SB 210: Action on the floor today

SB 210 will be debated and acted upon during General Orders on the floor of the House this morning. SB 210 is scheduled to be the 7th bill heard on General Orders.  The House convenes at 10:00am today, and with luck our bill will be heard before noon.

How it works:
A number of bills will be considered during General Orders; which is the time for debate and amendment and so on.  Then there will be a motion to recommend the bill favorably for passage.  Then it will be later in the day that they will take their "Final Action" vote which will determine whether or not the bill advances.  If it passes on "Final Action" without amendments, the bill will then go to the Governor fir his approval or disapproval.  If it is amended however, it will go to a House/Senate conference committee during which time legislators from the two houses will attempt to iron out their differences on the bill.



Make your final advocacy calls and emails!  
If you're in town, be sure to head to the Captiol this morning to make last minute visits with your House members.
