The Assembly refused to pass a bill allowing 14 year olds to operate five horsepower motorcycles by a 49 to 45 vote, and defeated preliminary approval for the measure. Several committee bills stalled include $2,500 to restore the Ripon schoolhouse fund and a Senate approved foreign doctor licensing plan.

The Senate advanced restoration of the State Athletic Commission’s $10,756 annual appropriation after a debate on boxing finances. A tax of driver education and court actions moved forward with an arresting officer instruction bill. The Senate also allowed up to $3,000 for a circuit judge salary and returned a straight-time overtime bill to the finance committee.
