Live from the Legislature
Holliman (D-Davidson) motions to move the bill to Judiciary 1.
This would kill the bill because it could not meet crossover.
Dockham speaks against the motion.
14 no
10 yes
6 no-shows
Motion defeated.
Recess for 2 minutes. Owens is calling his folks who are not present.
Luebke (D-Durham) and Jennifer Weiss and Dan Blue (Dems – Wake) show up.
Rules chair Bill Owens pulls Harold Brubaker (R-Randolph) out, confers with Holliman (D-Davidson), Michaux (D-Durham) and Jeffus (D-Guilford).
Brubaker moves that the bill move to the floor without prejudice. Voice vote carries.
I’m willing to bet a motion to send the bill to a committee is made on the floor. They’ll make sure they have the votes. The bill will go to a committee and miss the crossover deadline.
