 Good morning. This is one of those author unknown quotations that you might have heard before. I keep it pasted on my refrigerator door, and I thought it would be particularly apropos for today. A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it lasts sometimes forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it, and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. While we don't have a page here today, would you please rise and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. As is customary at the beginning of every brand new session, we will call the roll for attendance to assure the body that there is a forum.

We have Senate Bill 1, an act relating to health insurance, chiropractic care, physical therapy in the Department of Vermont Health Access. Please listen to the first reading of the bill. That's one, an act on the co-payment limits for chiropractic care and physical care. I also feel that it is introduced by the Committee on the Rules by the way. Now the bill has been read for the first time and pursuant to a 48 is placed in the calendar for notice on the next succeeding day. We now have Senate Bill 2 for introduction and was introduced by the Committee on the Rules. It is an act relating to commerce and trade and consumer protection. Please listen to the first reading of the bill. That's two, an act for the regulated finance and leases for credit card terminals. Now the bill has been read for the first time and pursuant to a 48 is placed on the calendar for notice the next succeeding day. Now for introduction S3, introduced by the Committee on the Rules. An act relating to education and protecting students and sexual exploitation. Please listen to the first reading of the bill. S3, act relating to sexual exploitation of students. Now the bill has been read for the first time and pursuant to a 48 is placed in the calendar for notice the next succeeding day. Senator Frigiden. Thank you, Mr. President. First, just a quick word. Those three bills I had emailed with a full chamber indicating that those were bills that had reached agreement and just waited and fell off the limits because of the rule suspension issues on the night we adjourned. And so the three bills have been introduced in their form that they were in that night by the rules committee and spoke with leadership on those both. Both assess the leadership in the Senate. I think we thought it would be more expeditious to take those up today. And so I would move that we suspend the rules for the first pending entry in the calendar taking up S1, 2, and 3. Senator Frigiden has moved that the Senate suspend its rules in order to take up for immediate consideration depending on the notice calendar bills S1, S2, and S3. Are you ready for the question? If so, all those in favor please signify by saying aye. Those opposed signify by saying nay. The ayes have it and you suspended your rules in order to take up S1, S2, and S3. We now have for action S1, it was introduced today. I don't even know what today is. Please listen to the second reading of the bill. I'm now agreeing to co-payment limits for care and physical therapy. Now you've heard the second reading of the resolution to the bill. Senator from Chittenden. Thank you Mr. President. S1 is virtually identical to S224 which went through the conference committee. That was approved on the last day by the Senate chamber. The only change that's been made is just by a very brief apron. This is to bring co-payments for counter-practice care that are under law for the last 10 years of work. It's mandated to be reasonable to make that happen and one change from what we voted on already in the conference committee report is on page three on line 15, the maximum co-payment amount, this is a technical draft year, should be 50% of our total reimbursement amount. It used to say total charge amount. So with that change, I would hope to set up with concurred investment. The question is, shall the bill be read a third time? Are you ready for the question? If so, all the therapy is signified by saying aye. Aye. All the votes signified by saying nay. Yeah, he's happy to have ordered third reading of S1. We now have a vote for action S2 in act relating to regulating, or please listen to the second reading of the bill. S2, that great regulating finance releases credit card terminals. Now the important, Senator from, Reverend Senator Sussi. Thank you, Mr. President. This is S206, which was agreed upon in the conference committee to have been no change at all and it protects consumers from onerous leases on credit card processing terms. Question is, shall the bill be read a third time? I'll wait you to ask the question until it's been handed out to every Senator. The question is, shall the bill be read a third time? Are you ready for the question? If so, all those in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. All those opposed signify by saying nay. The ayes have it, we've ordered third reading of S2. We now have a vote for action S3. Please listen to the second reading of the bill. S3, an act relating to sexual exploitation of students down through the Gordon Bell Center from Manhattan Center Sears. Mr. President, this is exactly the same version as it was voted on some Saturday night ago. Can't remember which one. And it deals with the sexual exploitation of students. At a Iraqi history and a bill of disimportance and to try to, you know, took this one to get it through. We passed it last year as part of a S87, which was a little portion of 87 get passed by the House of Judiciary Committee on another bill. The bill is the Education Committee in the House where it's out of the wall by mistake. This year we reintroduced it as age 27. And everything was going well. We had a conference committee, everybody agreed on it. And then at the final moments on Saturday, there was not a rule suspension, so it didn't get taken up. But I assure you this is basically what you voted on at least five times here this session, or by any of them I should say. So this actually is an important bill that will help protect our students from sexual exploitation. Thank you, Mr. President. The question is shall the bill be read a third time or are you ready for the question? If so, Paul's in favor, please signify by saying aye. As opposed to signify by saying nay. Guys have it and you have order 3rd, we need to ask 3rd. Senator Fujibun. Thank you, Mr. President. I move that the rules be suspended for the purpose of taking on S1, 2, and 3 to be placed in all remaining stages of the passage. Senator Fujibun has moved that the suspended rules in order to place S1, S2, and S3 through all remaining stages of passage. So I'm ready for the question. If so, I will favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. As opposed to signify by saying nay. The ayes have it and you have suspended the rules in order to place S1, S2, and S3 through all remaining stages of passage. I'm sorry, we now have consideration S1. Are there any amendments before 3rd reading? Seeing none, please list the 3rd reading of the bill. S1, we need to co-pay amendments for chiropractic care and physical therapy. You've heard the 3rd reading of the bill. The question now is, shall the bill pass? I'm ready for the question. If so, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. As opposed to signify by saying nay. The ayes have it and you have passed S1. Now for consideration S2, are there any amendments before 3rd reading? Seeing none, please list the 3rd reading of the bill. S2, act with the regulating finances for credit card terminals. If you heard the 3rd reading of the bill, the question is, shall the bill pass? Are you ready for the question? If so, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. As opposed to signify by saying nay. The ayes have it and you have passed S2. We now have for action S3. Are there any amendments before 3rd reading? Seeing none, please list the 3rd reading of the bill. S3, act with the correctional exploitation of students. Now you've heard the 3rd reading of the bill, the question is, shall the bill pass? Are you ready for the question? If so, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. As opposed to signify by saying nay. The ayes have it and you have passed S3. Senator from Chittenden, thank you. I move the rules will be suspended for a purpose of messaging our actions taken on S1 and 2 and 3 to the House for quick. Senator from Chittenden has moved the Senate and the Senate's rules on order to message your action just taken on bills S1, S2 and S3 to the House for quick. Are you ready for the question? If so, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. As opposed to signify by saying nay. The ayes have it and you suspended the rules that are message your actions taken on S1, S2 and S3 to the House for quick. Senator from Chittenden. I think I at this time would move pending announcements that the Senate stand in adjournment until Tuesday at 10 a.m. The Senator from Chittenden has moved a pending announcement that the Senate stand in adjournment until 10 a.m. on Tuesday. Are there any announcements? Senator from Washington. Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Finance will meet at 12.45. We have a presentation from the Joint Fiscal Office. Senator from Caldera. Senator from Appropriations and Senate Education will meet jointly at 1.30 for a presentation from Joint Fiscal Office. And then we will continue to meet after that presentation to hear from the administration. Senator from Chittenden. The Senator from Caledonia, lead me to the punch on the initial meeting, 1.30 for Senate Education and Approves. We will not be meeting at the Senate Education Committee following that. Are there any Senator from Chittenden? Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you to the Senate for making speedy work of the bills we've already passed today. I think it does help focus us on the work ahead. The agreement with the speaker was that the three bills that were what we would call Senate bills, which are the ones we just acted on, we would take up here and then the three bills that were house originating would be taken up in the other chamber. You may notice that in the bills that were introduced in the other chamber today that say special session, which were in front of us, only one of the three that I emailed people about which is the liquor lottery appears. So I'll follow the speaker just on timing, but the board's information bill was the other one and then one was related to auto transport companies. So there were those three bills that we anticipate receiving from the other chamber. The other is Peter Sterling will contact people and find out when people would like to start on Wednesday. So we'll make sure people know when we're gonna do that. Two quick words, Senator Barack's father not passed away, which is why he's not here today, he's out of state. So we're obviously all thinking of him. We've been standing in touch so he knows what's going on. And Senator Benning today is reuniting with his daughter, which is of course very good news, which is why he's not here today. Senator Hall more, I don't have a good answer for that one. I don't have a good answer for that one. Are there any further announcements? Senator from Quigga. We will be meeting as a Democratic office at noon on the leave of room 10. Are there any further announcements? Seeing none, Senator from Chittenden has moved at the Senate's date into German until Tuesday, May 29th at 10 a.m. Are you ready for the question? If so, I'll be favorably signified by saying aye. Aye. Those opposed, signified by saying nay. The ayes have it, and you'll stand in German until Tuesday, May 29th at 10 a.m.
