Why they voted this way
The speaker supports adopting the report because it accepts the House position on Section 5 after determining that previously proposed language was problematic. The adopted first section addresses concerns regarding Supreme Court rulings.
Why they voted this way
The lawmaker argues that including specific language for choking is necessary to prevent over-prosecution of minor incidents where no harm or intent was present.
Why they voted this way
The lawmaker states that repeating concepts in a statute creates mischief and reduces clarity, asserting that the existing general provision is sufficient to cover choking.
Why they voted this way
The lawmaker urges voting for the amendment because existing language already provides all necessary tools to prosecute choking, making additional text redundant and confusing.
