SB191 passes to the House.  Critical here was the fact that this year we picked up a couple votes.  Sadly several senators that told us they were opposed to this because there was no funding switched their votes.

This was a good debate and one that we're glad to have.  We have a vote record on this very important issue for families. 

Going into the vote we knew this would be either be an 18-17 victory or a 20-15 Defeat.  Three votes hung loosely and in this vote they went for the bill. 

So onto the House where there will be a robust debate for sure in the House Committe and floor.  At this point I don't think there's any question that even if this bill gets beat in committee that thre won't be procedural efforts to bring it to the floor. 

So the action is heating up.
