MOTION

REMARKS BY SENATOR SNYDER
Senator Snyder: “Thank you, Mr. President. I just want to add my thanks to all the staff and to all the members for the great way that everybody performed the last few days and how fortunate we are to be back here today without anybody being injured or even worse than that. I always said, years ago, that I hoped to live to the Year 2000--and I figured every day after that was a bonus day. I got up to four hundred and twenty-five days on Wednesday and I just wondered if that was going to be the last bonus day, but I have had five more and I am very thankful for that.
“We are going to go at ease in a minute to go to caucus and discuss matters in there. We will have a resolution to extend the cutoff from last Wednesday until today for getting bills out of the policy committees and until Thursday to get bills out of the two fiscal committees. We thought this was a historic day, so we are going to come back on the floor and do that and pass a couple of bills and anything else that might come before the Senate at that time.”

At 10:15 a.m., on motion of Senator Betti Sheldon, the Senate was declared to be at ease.

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Tim Sheldon: “Mr. President, a point of personal privilege. I didn’t want this issue that I am about to mention to go any longer. Obviously, we have had unforseen delays, but in our district, we had a murder last week. A young lady, a fifteen year old high school student--a fellow student of my daughter at Sheldon High School--was killed allegedly by a repeat sex offender--a level three offender. In meetings over the weekend, it has become apparent that the notification process didn’t work. A lot of people in the neighborhood did not know that this individual was there. Addresses were wrong and law enforcement agencies on the reservation were not notified as they should have been.
Things happened and in my community this makes these facts the worst thing probably that I can ever remember happening in my community.
“I’ve talked to the Senate majority leader and I want to mention it to the other members too, if we can work on this this session and in some way, given the difficulties that we have had, find some way of strengthening that notification act, so that people have a chance. Families need to know that there is a person--a potential killer living in their neighborhood. I would appreciate your support in working on this issue. The young student’s name is Jenny Osborne, a very wonderful little lady.”
MOTION
At 11:13 a.m., on motion of Senator Betti Sheldon, the Senate was declared to be at ease.
