SB 106-17: Educational Foundation Program Act (Tabled)

Nay

Section 3, would run afoul of the provisions of the recent Budget Process Act as it from my quick read delegates the cost determination to non-playable entities (read the Comptroller/GM), and doesn't explicitly authorize a specific amount.

This would not stop the bill from being passed, what it would do is necessitate a later authorization (with a specific amount) and then of course appropriations (inclusion in the budget passed for a given FY) for any money to go anywhere with regards to this program.

Senate rules on the other hand are now a different matter. I actually forgot about this last night mainly because I was thinking in a budget frame of mind as opposed to a Senate rules frame of mind.

Oh dear, of all the things to fall off people's radar.

Well this seems pretty unanimous either way but I'll count the technically late votes since they don't overlap with any previous ones:

Aye (10): deadprez, beesley, Mr. R, Yankee, WD, WB, Kuumo, Griffin, Ishan (at-large), Sestak
Nay (2): West_Midlander, Joseph Cao
Abstain (0):
Present/not voting (6): FalterinArc/Blairite, OSR, MB, Muad'dib, tack/AGA, the Mountain West Senator

By a vote of 10-2-0-6, the bill is tabled.

Confirming this as Senate Dean in case such is necessary.
