SB-2 Passes Assembly, On to the Senate
By John Forester(Don't Use) | May 18, 2011
In a victory for the SAA, the State Assembly yesterday passed Senate Bill 2, as amended by the Assembly Education Committee, on a 60-35 vote. Many thanks to all of you that contacted your Assembly Representatives in support of the SAA position.
SB-2 now goes back to the Senate for concurrence in the Assembly amendments. A positive outcome is not assured, however. The Senate could refuse to accept the Assembly amendments. And remember, the Senate version of SB-2 has not been removed from the Budget Bill. Powerful interests are lobbying to pass that version as part of the budget.
