  23. 2017-018: A BILL TO AMEND STUDENT SENATE RULES AND REGULATIONS ARTICLE VI SECTION
  24. Adam Steinhilber: Currently a hold over senator really deals with how officers are elected in committees. Rules were very confusing. Does it mean senators, voters, or both. You have to be present prior, which leaves you no absences. The number of people that were able to run for a position almost doubled. Would make it much easier for replacement senators to run for office as well as senators that are part of schools where their attendance is different that an regular student senator.
  25. Gabby Naylor moves to call to question on the bill
  26. Properly moved and seconded
  27. Bill passes
