Pending that the vote does not flip in the next few hours, I encourage the House to consider adopting the Senate version.

Seeing as how there appears to be no more debate, we will now move to a 72-hour vote.

Nay, on the grounds that they is a plural pronoun, whereas the pronouns that this bill would replace (He, she) are singular pronouns.

a) considering you've said literally nothing about this up to now, this seems like an excuse
b) it's also pure nonsense: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=history+of+singular+they

I had a college paper marked wrong because I used they as a singular pronoun. I stand by my nay vote and the grammatical existence of they as a plural pronoun.

Considering all of the good that this bill does, that seems like a very petty reason to vote down a bill, especially considering you never brought up this concern before now.

As someone who has experience with social justice and working with trans individuals, this is the gender neutral term that is most widely used and is considered the most acceptable replacement for gender specific pronouns. I stand firmly by my decision to include it in this bill.

nah, bru, you wrote "the governing body of each hospital", not "the governing bodies of each hospital". (and ofc you're ignoring all the other examples)
