72 hours to debate.

[Joseph Cao]

Alright, I'll put forward a motion to table HB 26-03.

Hmm. We're still in the mandated initial 72-hour debate period, so I'm not sure that this tabling motion is in order.

However, it seems clear where this is headed based on the feedback we've had thus far, so if the Representative is fine with withdrawing his motion I'd be able to request unanimous consent from the floor to waive the minimum debate time requirement and move immediately to a final vote.

[Joseph Cao]

Requesting unanimous consent to waive the 72-hour debate requirement, after which we will proceed to a final vote on the bill. Representatives have 24 hours to object.

[Joseph Cao]

Final vote on the bill – 72 hours to vote.

Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

[Joseph Cao]

Nay.

A majority of representatives have now indicated opposition. 24 hours to vote or change your vote.

[Joseph Cao]

Voting has ended.

By a vote of 1-5-0-3, this bill fails to pass.
