Madam President, I'm always going to be as accommodating as possible to all of my colleagues. I think that moving forward today actually moves forward the discussion. Councilman Clarke and I had have had an opportunity to talk about some of the concerns that he has. I think they can be addressed. These are, again, just amendments to the bill. It is one small step in a very long process. I think it at least does complete a portion of the bill that was left undone, quite honestly, when it was introduced and was not given much discussion even during the year long period of time that we've been dealing with this SECOND READING AND FINAL PASSAGE CALENDAR particular issue. I think it helps complete the bill, it forwards the discussion. I would at least like to have, I think as Councilman Kenney said, 000314AAA as a newly printed document with these items as a part of it. So I would like to move forward the amendments, at least.
Thank you. The Chair recognizes Councilman Miller.
Thank you, Madam President. As someone who signed onto the bill and I kind of echo most of the comments that were made today, both pro and con, and I think it's time for us to receive an update of information from the industry. We haven't had -- all members have not had the dialog that Councilman Nutter and Councilman DiCicco have been privy to and I personally feel that I need an update. I think the amendments will help those business people that may be impacted if this bill ever got passed. I'll be voting for the amendments because I do see it as a way of helping those businesses out. However, I still have reservations about the bill itself. Thank you.
Thank you. Any other statements or comments by any other SECOND READING AND FINAL PASSAGE CALENDAR members? I would ask that the roll be called, please.
Aye. The ayes are 12, the nays are 5; therefore, the amendment is adopted to bill 000314AA. The Clerk will please read the title of 010771.
