Senate finishes amendments, goes at ease
The Senate has finished its amending order, leaving three bills unamended: SB 1348 and SB 1350 on bicycles, and SB 1271, Sen. John McGee's immigration bill on false documents. Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis asked unanimous consent to refer those three bills to the State Affairs Committee; it was done, and they're now dead. Among the bills amended: The House's new version of the texting-while-driving bill. The Senate has gone at ease until 5:30 (Mountain time), to prepare another suspension calendar, permitting the suspension of rules to quickly pass legislation.
