Reps. Ammons and Jiménez returned to the roll call.

…Adding… The revenue omnibus has bee put on postponed consideration after Assistant Majority Leader Aaron Ortiz was verified off the roll call. Here’s the original vote…

Stay tuned.

Democratic Reps. Benton, Sharon Chung, Costa Howard, Fred Crespo, DeLuca, Gong-Gershowitz, Kifowit, Scherer, Stuart, Syed, Walsh, Yednock were all “No” votes. Crespo spoke negatively about the bill in debate.

…Adding… Rep. Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz has moved to reconsider the vote. JGG had voted “No.” But the Republicans are claiming there was no recorded vote, so there’s no motion to reconsider. The Democrats said the record was taken, but the Republicans say that didn’t happen.

…Adding… Motion to reconsider…

…Adding… Second concurrence motion, but there’s a verification request…

…Adding… A Republican, Rep. Randy Frese, flipped.

…Adding… I’m told Democratic Rep. Larry Walsh was supposed to flip to Yes, then saw the roll call hit sixty and went back to No. If Frese is verified off, they’re back at 59.

…Adding… If Frese is off, the bill will die by rule. But the Democrats can vote to suspend the rule, if they can find enough votes.

…Adding… Frese is verified off and the Democrats move to suspend the rule.

…Adding… Motion to suspend the rule passes, then Gong Gershowitz moves to reconsider the vote. That vote passes.

…Adding… Concurrence motion passes again, but waiting on verification.

…Adding… Republicans gave up on the verification. Here’s the roll call…
