What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Commerce (Commerce) to award a grant

to an association that represents manufacturers in this state for establishing

manufacturing marketing programs and promoting the manufacturers' products

and manufacturing services. The grant may not exceed a total of $2,590,000

disbursed over five years. The bill specifies the purposes for which the grant

proceeds may be used, including salaries and fringe benefits to certain association

employees, operating expenses for a marketing and outreach office, and creating an

Internet Web site for the association. The grant is funded by current Commerce

appropriations that fund several economic development programs.

Votes

Suspending the rules (to take a vote immediately) needs a two-thirds majority — a higher bar than passing the bill, which needs a simple majority. That's why a suspension motion can show more Ayes than the passage vote that follows it. Glossary
