The Senate successfully amended a slew of bills, including the anti-bullying bill, the massage therapy licensing bill, and the Alcohol Beverage Control funding bill, but moved out of its amending order before taking up amendments to HB 464, the oil and gas state pre-emption bill. However, that wasn't the end of it. Just after Majority Caucus Chairman Russ Fulcher made the motion for the "committee of the whole" to "rise and report," meaning it would dissolve the committee and leave the amending order, a motion was made to send HB 464 back to the Senate's 3rd Reading Calendar, without amending it. After a pause, it was determined that that motion was out of order, and the motion to "rise and report" passed.

Then, Sen. Edgar Malepeai, D-Pocatello, abruptly moved that the Senate adjourn. The voice vote was divided and left Lt. Gov. Brad Little in doubt, so he ordered a roll call vote. It failed on an 11-22 vote.

Then, Sen. Monty Pearce, R-New Plymouth, moved again to send HB 464 back to the Senate's 3rd Reading Calendar without amendments, and Sen. Jeff Siddoway, R-Terreton, seconded the motion. The roll was called, and the motion passed 18-15.

On Friday, the Senate deadlocked in a 17-17 tie on whether to amend the bill to add back in more local control over oil and gas well siting; Lt. Gov. Brad Little broke the tie, voting yes. The Senate has now adjourned for the day.
