Assemblymember Sanchez moved to suspend Assembly Rule 118(a) to allow JR 28, a resolution urging Congress to pass Department of Homeland Security funding, to be taken up without reference to file. Mister DeMio was noted as the seconder; the presiding officer instructed the clerk to open and close the roll for the required vote.
The clerk reported 16 ayes and 43 noes; the presiding officer announced the motion failed. The motion required 41 votes to suspend the rules and proceed and therefore did not pass. No amendment or further motion on JR 28 was recorded on the floor that day.
The failure of the motion left JR 28 on the regular calendar; the Assembly proceeded to other business including the observance of Women’s History Month and routine consent calendar votes.
