Senator Menjivar’s motion to rescind a prior vote carries; item placed on third reading

Senator Menjivar moved that the Senate "rescind the vote on file item a 79, a b 14 57, and place the item on 3rd reading," and the chamber approved the motion by a 28‑to‑9 roll call, the presiding officer announced.

The motion was made from the floor by Senator Menjivar and called for the item referenced in his request to return to the third‑reading calendar for further consideration. The Secretary conducted a roll call after the motion was raised; the presiding officer stated, "The ayes are 28. The noes are 9. The motion carries." No second was recorded in the transcript.

Why it matters: placing an item on third reading returns it to the Senate calendar for substantive floor consideration, potential amendment, and a subsequent final vote. The transcript itself records the procedural outcome but does not detail the merits or the content of the underlying bill or item beyond the string Menjivar spoke.
