What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Technical College System Board (board) makes grants

to technical college system boards for training in advanced manufacturing skills.

Beginning in the 2010-11 school year, the board is required to award at $2,000,000

annually for such grants. This bill requires that, beginning in the 2011-12 school

year, the board must award at least $2,400,000 annually for such grants.

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
