I do not want us to vote three times on the same thing, but I have a question for legislative counsel.
According to our analysis, since we wish to retain the provisions that prohibit the transport of horses for slaughter in the first subsection, we thought this might strengthen the bill.
Perhaps I am a bit naive since I am not a lawyer, but I thought the amendment would be much more admissible since it would strengthen the bill rather than contradict it.
Was I mistaken? Perhaps you can convince me not to challenge the chair's decision.
