Representative Porter moved the effective date clause.                         
                                                                               
The question being:  "Shall the effective date clause be adopted?"  The        
roll was taken with the following result:

And so, lacking the necessary 27 votes, the effective date clause was          
not adopted.                                                                   
                                                                               
Rescinding action on failing to pass the effective date was taken up           
later.
