REMARKS BY SENATOR ROLFES

Senator Rolfes: “Thank you Mr. President, so I wanted to say that I, that we, had concerns about Senate Bill 6618, which is called the ‘voter fraud protection act.’ I’ll just add to my earlier comments by saying it seems like it should be the ‘candidate fraud protection act’ and that the bill should be referred to the Government Operations and Security Committee. We don’t know why it was referred to Accountability and Reform, but we will defer to the majority’s judgment on that.”

MOTION

On motion of Senator Fain, and without objection, all measures listed on the Introduction and First Reading report were referred to the committees as designated with the exception of Senate Bill No. 6619 which was referred to the Committee on Law & Justice.

MOTION

At 12:04 p.m., on motion of Senator Fain, the Senate adjourned until 12:00 o’clock noon Monday, February 1, 2016.
