The following prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Pastor John Fette:
Thank You, Father, for your grace and mercy. Thank You for Your help in conducting the
affairs of this Senate body of South Dakota. Please bless us with safety as we are traveling
home. This we ask in Jesus' name. Amen.
Pursuant to Joint Rule 1-10, we, the undersigned, do hereby, respectfully, dissent and
protest against the decision of the President to permit the coupling of subsidiary motions to
dispose of SB 3 with a motion to suspend the rules. In support of this position, we cite Section
282 of Mason's Legislative Manual which reads in pertinent part, "A motion to suspend the rules
may not have any other subsidiary rule applied to it."
Moreover, we, the undersigned, would also, respectfully, point out that the coupling of an
undebatable tabling motion with several other debatable motions has the unfortunate effect of
prohibiting debate contrary to the fundamental right to debate parliamentary questions as
enshrined in Section 90 of Mason's Legislative Manual.
Respectfully submitted, Respectfully submitted,
Senator Frank Kloucek Senator Gil Koetzle
