In its original version, S.B. 17 did not stipulate when the new guidelines would expire, thus adding the guidelines and the recipient selection process to the AAC administrative plan. The amendment failed by a vote of 10-1. Although Heystek's amendment failed in the first round of voting, it was recalled by Senator Regan Richardson and was consequently passed after further discussion by a vote of 8-3. The bill was then unanimously passed with Heystek's amendment. The senate is scheduled to return to business for the winter quarter with regular weekly meetings beginning Thursday at 6 p.m. in the Mee Room on the third floor of the Memorial Union.
Meetings are open to the public.
