Senate Makes History As Legislators Pass 46 Bills in Just 10 Minutes

The Senate, on Wednesday, June 3, made history by passing 46 bills passed in about 10 minutes, less than 48 hours to expiration of their tenure.

 

The 46 bills were passed through a simple majority voice vote.

 

Efforts by some senators to protest procedure for passage of the bills were stopped by Senate President, David Mark, who advised his protesting colleagues to do so through a motion today.

 

In passing the bills through a motion, the Sendescribate suspended all its laws governing the three processes of first, second and third readings.

 

The motion was co-sponsored by eight other senators.
