On the House floor today

A couple of items of note:

Rep. Greenberg moved to reconsider the vote by which the emergency clause to the primary seatbelt law failed yesterday. The motion passed and we adopted the emergency clause by a unanimous vote, enabling us to be eligible for $9.5 million in federal funds.

My fire safe cigarette bill had some opposition but passed 75-14-1. Roll call:

Sen. Wilkins bill to restructure the MLK Commission passed 99-0. Kathy Webb was downstairs in a meeting on the stimulus proceeds and didn't vote, but she did include a minute in the House journal stating her support for the bill. It now heads to the governor.
