THE QUESTION IS SHALL THE COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE BE AGREED TO. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION WILL SAY AYE, THOSE OPPOSED NO. THE AYES HAVE IT. THE COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE IS AGREED TO.
AN EASIER TEST. WE ARE NOT TRYING TO REDUCE THE RIGOR FOR WHICH WE EXPECT THE CHILDREN TO PERFORM. BUT IF THERE IS A REQUIREMENT TO CHANGE THE MEANS OR THE WAY WE DELIVER THE TEST, BASED ON THE DISABILITY, THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. THAT'S WHAT THIS SENATE SUBSTITUTE DOES, AND I WOULD ASK THE HOUSE TO ACCEPT THE SENATE SUBSTITUTE. SHALL THE SENATE SUBSTITUTE BE AGREED TO? THE CLERK WILL CLOSE THE ROLL. AYES 99, NOS, ZERO. AYES 99, NOZ NODZ, THE SENATE AMENDMENTS ARE AGREED TO.
