Jan. 31st: SB79 Does not receive enough votes to pass Senate
Sen. Hayden's SB79 (to put together a taskforce to study the 3-strikes
law) did not pass the Senate when it came to a vote on January 31st. It only
received 14 votes and needed 21 to pass. The results of the vote are as
follows:
AYES
Alarcon Alpert Bowen Burton Chesbro Escutia Figueroa
Hayden Hughes Johnston Murray Peace Perata Vasconcellos
NOES
Brulte Costa Dunn Johannessen Johnson Karnette Kelley Knight Leslie Lewis
McPherson Monteith Mountjoy Poochigian Rainey Wright
ABSENT,
ABSTAINING, OR NOT VOTING
Haynes Morrow O'Connell Ortiz Polanco Schiff Sher
Solis Speier Vacancy
The deadline for SB 79 to be passed by the Senate
was January 31 so anything on 3-strikes will need to be reintroduced as a new
bill.
