Debate on this bill is now open.
Mr. Reactionary:
This looks like a common sense cost saving bill that eliminates lapsed, wasteful, and ineffective programs. I will reach out to the GMs for a budget impact statement.

Here is debate on a similar bill in 2019.
Mr. Reactionary:
I move for a final vote. 24 hours to object.
Sirius_:
I am not able to object, but I think that the bill's sponsor ought to explain the inclusion of these programs before the senate votes to end them.
