Tuesday, March 22

The House debated SF 259, SF 244, SF 149, HF 516, SF 327, HF 534, SF 474, SF 470, HF 523, SF 291, SF 400, SF 7 and HF 603 were all passed.

HF 603 is a bill relating to eminent domain.  Eminent domain gives the state the authority to seize private property.  As far as I can tell, this bill limits when and how eminent domain is used.  It was not debated for a very long time, and the final vote was 87-6.

SF 427 was floor managed and passed by Iverson. It allows qualified organizations to lease certain electronic bingo equipment in order to assist disabled participants.

The dove hunting bill, which took 5 minutes in the Senate, will come up for debate as an amendment to a raccoon hunting bill.  If there is a question of germainess (whether or not it actually pertains to the bill) and the dove hunting amendment is found not germaine, then the Republicans will suspend the rules and vote on it anyway.
