REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

 

President Habib: “Before we move to the swearing in of the newly elected and appointed Senators, the President would like to just take a moment to share two thoughts:  First of all, the President on behalf of the state Senate would like to extend a very warm word of welcome to all those who are guests in our chambers today.  Particularly those who are loved ones, family and friends of our new state Senators.  But truly for whatever reason you have made your way here, and whether this is your first time joining us for this opening day ceremony or whether you are old hat, we love having you here.  We hope you know how welcome you are to our galleries, to our state capitol to observe your state government in action, to meet with your legislators, and to be apart of this work which we are so privileged to do on the public’s behalf.

I would also like to welcome back all of my colleagues in state government who are here to serve once more.  You know a year ago I was quite a good deal more nervous than I am this week.  I want to say at that time there was a change in this chamber, but the change was on this side of the rostrum and many of you may not have known after twenty years of Lieutenant Governor Owen’s service what to expect when an institution known for consistency experienced a change.  I want to thank each and every one of you who was here last session for your patience and tolerance of me for all the many ways in which you taught me, and will continue to teach me to do my job on your behalf.  It is such a tremendous privilege and honor for me to work with you to lead this state Senate.  And this year there is also a change in this chamber, but it is not on this side of the rostrum, it is on the other side of the rostrum and as with my change and perhaps even more so it is understandable that some people may not know what to expect or how things may change as we have a shift in the majority party.  But while I certainly don’t know what the policy outcomes of these next sixty days will be any better than anyone else here, what I do know is that through the relationships I’ve had the privilege of building with Senators returning here and those which I hope to build with our two new members, I know that what will not change in this coming session and in the years to come is the respect and dignity with which Senators treat there time here on behalf of your constituents.  That Democrat, Republican, or Questioning, each of us who serves in state government does truly honor this opportunity and this tremendous responsibility.  And so I want to ask that each of you who have taught me this lesson yourselves maintain and preserve that spirit of dignity so that we can continue to have the fantastic and vigorous but respectful debates on this Senate floor that I think have made this entire state capital so proud.

So, on behalf of my own staff, my office and myself, I want to welcome each of you back and congratulate you on what I know will be a fruitful session to come.”

 

MOTION

 

On motion of Senator Liias, the Senate advanced to the third order of business.

Senator Pedersen:  “Thank you Mr. President, I would like to nominate Senator Karen Keiser.  Thank you very much Mr. President.  I am greatly honored to nominate Senator Keiser for this position in our state Senate.  Senator Keiser has been here serving for quite a long time and during a storied career in the Senate has led and effort to expand access to health care to all sorts of people in our state, leading us to have one of the lowest uninsured rates in the country.  And probably most noticeably from the last session, completed an effort of more than ten years, to have paid family and medical leave come to our state.  Working effectively with folks from the other side of the aisle, particularly the gentleman from the 47th on that important project that will benefit people around our state.  Senator Keiser has the perspective and temperament, I believe, to do an excellent job of leading the chamber on those times when you will be absent and unable to serve.  I am greatly honored that the senior member of our caucus will do such a great job representing us up on the rostrum.  So I am happy to nominate Senator Keiser.”

 

REMARKS BY SENATOR FAIN

 

Senator Fain:  “Thank you Mr. President, I wish to second the nomination of Senator Keiser to the position.  Thank you Mr. President.  It is a great honor to stand and put this name forward.  I have worked very closely with Senator Keiser since I came to this chamber, everything from my first year working on floods and impacts they have in the Kent and Auburn Valleys to last years monumental change to our family leave laws here in Washington which were absolutely an equal and bipartisan effort which were started long ago by Senator Keiser in this chamber.  My friendship with Senator Keiser goes long before even the time that I was elected here to this chamber.  In fact, I believe that at one point in my life I actually was represented by Senator Keiser in the Legislature when I was living in the Normandy Park/Des Moines area.  But unlike at that time, I will be very happy to vote for her today.”

On motion of Senator Liias, nominations for the office of President Pro Tempore of the Senate were closed.

REMARKS BY SENATOR McCOY

 

Senator McCoy:  “Thank you Mr. President, I stand and rise to nominate the Senator from the 29th Legislative District, Senator Steve Conway.  Thank you Mr. President.  I have served with Senator Conway over in the other chamber and now this chamber.  Although he has been in both chambers a lot longer than I have, I am starting my sixteenth year and it has been a pleasure to serve with him all of those years.  So, I could talk for hours about it but I think I will cut it short and present Senator Conway.”

 

REMARKS BY SENATOR ZEIGER

 

Senator Zeiger:  “Thank you Mr. President, I second the nomination of Senator Steve Conway for Vice President Pro Tempore.  Thank you Mr. President. It has been a real pleasure for me to serve with Senator Conway.  As senators from neighboring districts, we are part of the powerful Pierce County delegation.”

 

President Habib:  “We don’t call that a ‘mafia’ anymore Senator Zeiger?”

 

[Editor’s Note:  For much of the time from the early 1980s through the mid-1990s, the speaker of the House, the Senate majority leader, the chairs of the legislative fiscal committees, as well as some notably effective legislators, and the governor were Pierce County residents.  The legislative delegation representing the County became known colloquially as the “Pierce County mafia,” for their ability to unify across political parties and chambers to pass an inordinate amount of legislation benefitting the City of Tacoma and Pierce County.]

 

Senator Zeiger:  “We do call it the mafia.  Senator Conway’s record of service in this body and to his community is impressive and he has made a real difference here in the legislature over a number of years in a range of issues: health care; pensions; economic development; the capital budget.  We could go on and on in the issues in which he has made a difference.  He has worked in academia professionally as well as in the labor movement.  He is a historian who brings perspective to our deliberations here.  So it is my pleasure to second this nomination for Senator Conway.”

5. In the event of a motion or resolution to censure or punish, or any procedural motion thereto involving a senator, that senator shall not vote thereon. The senator shall be allowed to answer to such motion or resolution. An election or vote by the senate on a motion to censure or punish a senator shall require the vote of a majority of all senators elected or appointed to the senate. A vote to expel a member shall require a two-thirds concurrence of all members elected or appointed to the senate. All votes shall be taken by yeas and nays and the votes shall be entered upon the journal. (See also Art. 2, Sec. 9, State Constitution.)"

No biennial or supplemental omnibus operating budget, omnibus capital budget, or omnibus transportation budget bill may be acted upon in second reading until twenty-four hours after the bill has been placed on the second reading calendar by the rules committee. With the exception of amendments incorporated into the bill as reported by a fiscal committee, a floor amendment to a biennial or supplemental omnibus budget bill is not properly before the body and shall not be considered by the senate unless the amendment has been sent to the secretary of the senate’s desk in writing within eighteen hours of when the bill is placed on the second reading calendar by the rules committee and has been made available to the public by the secretary of the senate in a timely manner. This rule does not apply to conference committee reports of biennial or supplemental omnibus budget bills, which are governed by joint rules. This rule may be suspended with a majority vote of those present within three days of sine die.

Any member may, if sustained by three members, remove a bill from the consent calendar as constituted by the committee on rules. A bill removed from the consent calendar shall take its place as the last bill in the order of consideration of bills on the second reading calendar.

No amendment shall be considered by the senate until it shall have been sent to the secretary’s desk in writing and read by the secretary.

All amendments adopted on the second reading shall then be securely fastened to the original bill.

When no further amendments shall be offered, the president shall declare the bill has passed its second reading, and shall be referred to the committee on rules for third reading((: Provided, That any bill that raises taxes requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the senators elected or appointed to advance to third reading, unless the bill contains a referendum clause.

"Raises taxes" means increasing state tax revenue deposited in any fund, budget, or account))."

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That Rule 67 is amended as follows:

To concur

To non-concur

To recede

To insist

To adhere

These motions are in order as to any single amendment or to a series of amendments. (See Reed’s Rules 247 through 254.)

((A motion to concur with an amendment or amendments that raise taxes requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the senators elected or appointed unless the bill contains a referendum clause.

"Raises taxes" means increasing state tax revenue deposited in any fund, budget, or account.))"

 

Senator Liias spoke in favor of adoption of the resolution.

Senator Fain spoke on adoption of the resolution.

 

POINT OF INQUIRY

 

Senator Baumgartner:  “Thank you Mr. President.  I am trying to understand these rules and would ask if Senator Liias would yield to a question?”

 

President Habib: “Senator Liias?”

 

Senator Liias: “Sure.”

 

President Habib:  “Senator Baumgartner.”

 

Senator Baumgartner:  “Thank you Mr. President.  With the purposed time limit on the budget (Rule 53), how would it work if there was an amendment to an amendment?  What would be the timing on that?”

 

Senator Liias:  “Thank you for that question, Senator Baumgartner.  Amendments to amendments wouldn’t have to comply with the eighteen hour rule but we know that the scope and object of those amendments would have to be narrowly tailored to the underlying amendment being changed.”

 

Senator Baumgartner: “Mr. President?”

 

President Habib:  “Senator Baumgartner.”

 

Senator Baumgartner:  “But if the amendment has to be in eighteen hours, how would you even know to draft an amendment to the amendment and still be within the time period?  The challenge of the time limit, I think, is if something is up to the eighteen hour time limit, it essentially eliminates the possibility of an amendment to an amendment.”

 

President Habib:  “Senator Liias, would you like to …”

 

Senator Liias:  “Yeah. Happily, thank you, Mr. President. Thank you Senator Baumgartner.  I think that part of the reason why we have that six-hour window is if there are technical corrections that need to be made to the amendments that have been adopted, those could still be considered, so there is that view.  But in terms of new substantive amendments, they would have to comply with that eighteen hour deadline.”

 

Senator Baumgartner:  “So, what I am hearing is that there are no amendments to the amendment when it comes to the budget under these proposed rules?”

 

Senator Liias:  “That is not what I am saying and I would be happy to chat with you more offline about the details.”

 

President Habib:  “Alright, we’re done with the colloquy. Senator Erickson.”

 

Senators Ericksen and Padden, spoke against adoption of the resolution.

Senator Nelson spoke in favor of adoption of the resolution.

Senators Hobbs and Hasegawa spoke on the adoption of the resolution.
