House Bill 2 Just Failed

By Phillip Martin

The Speaker put every amendment onto the bill, without any debate. No one knew what got put on the bill, but because Grusendorf made the motion, no one had time to object. That left every member without a clue as to what was now in the bill, and all the Republicans broke and voted against House Bill 2. Now, the House has planned on voting for House Bill 3.

As soon as anyone can make sense of anything, I'll update. Until then, I'm done posting for a while...

How does one simply put every amendment on the bill? Was this an actual motion that people unknowingly passed? What a turd.

Please stay on it. I'm not there but it sounds like they are killing the bill while still allowing Republicans who need to to vote for the Democratic alternative.

Senfronia inquired of the chair about the amendments passed and was told that they were the ones that had been filed and were in their packets, so they all had the opportunity to look at them and see what they meant.
