Senate votes to strike civil service nullification from sanatoria bill
In Little Rock the senate without dissent removed a civil service nullification section from the Nichols Nyberg sanatoria building program bill. The measure would have redirected the civil service maintenance appropriation to the sanatorium fund. The house added the nullification aim, saying it would “knock civil service in the head.” The senate also approved a plan to use state funds to match federal construction money and defeated a Jonesboro sanatorium branch proposal. The session adjournment motion was approved 20 to 11, potentially ending the session Saturday if the house concurs. House action included highway funding measures and a repeal of air brake requirements for trucks and trailers.
