Senate Journal Page: 54

Adoption; January 21, 2015; Journal Page 54; 20 Yeas, 10 Nays, 1 Present-not-voting


YCT Yea. Eliminates the 2/3 rule which essentially sets up the entire legislative session to 'streamline' Conservative lead legislation to make it to the Senate floor without being blocked. Historically, this rule has acted as a Democratic veto over all legislation. YCT supports the use of this new rule to prevent Senate procedure from hindering good legislation from being deliberated.
