UPDATE III: I think they are on the final amendment to 7135 here at 12:03 p.m. So, hopefully, the anti-evolution bill will be up in a few minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

UPDATE II: Bill 7135 has a ton of amendments, making it take more than an hour to work through. We’re still waiting for it to wrap up so that the anti-evolution bills can finally be discussed. (time now is 11:32 a.m.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

UPDATE: It looks like the House is following their schedule. Bill 7135 is being talked about right now and right after it should come the anti-evolution bills. (time right now is 10:28 a.m.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have to hand it to Rep. Kiar; he’s on the ball when it comes to the anti-evolution bills. Last night I did a recap of all the amendment action<\/a> surrounding House Bill 1483<\/a> and Senate Bill 2692<\/a> (the Senate Bill was approved in the Senate and so is now in the House). Bright and early this morning Kiar filed two amendments. These are considered “amendments to the amendment” because first Rep. Hays filed an amendment to the Senate Bill in an effort to change it to match his own House version. Now Kiar is covering all the bases in the event Hays’ amendment to the Senate Bill gets any traction: he filed “amendments to the amendment” (027477<\/a>, 947705<\/a>) on Hays’ Senate Bill amendment. Kiar is just making sure that the changes he is asking for concerning the House bill are also applied to the Senate bill.<\/p>\n

It looks like both the House and Senate bills are going to be looked at in today’s House session. I know the House bill is supposed to just be on second reading (a time for debate and amendments; no votes). But I have no idea what will happen with the Senate bill.<\/p>\n

The session is being broadcast live<\/a> right now. I’m off work today, so I will try to monitor the session and post notice here when the anti-evolution stuff is brought up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
