and so, HOUSE BILL NO. 11 am S passed the Senate.                                                   
                                                                                                    
Senator Ben Stevens moved for the adoption of the effective date                                    
clause.                                                                                             
                                                                                                    
The question being: "Shall the effective date clause be adopted?" The                               
roll was taken with the following result:                                                           
                                                                                                    
HB 11 am S                                                                                          
Effective Date Clause

and so, the effective date clause failed.
