What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This resolution requires the Committee on Assembly Organization to appoint

before January 26, 2016, a committee on combatting racial intolerance, consisting

of three members each of the majority and minority parties. The committee must

study and recommend ways to combat racial intolerance in this state. The committee

must submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the assembly before

July 1, 2016.

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
