First motion fails on 2-7 party-line vote; Pearce moves to pass performance pay bill

Sen. Malepeai’s motion to kill all three bills has died on a 2-7, straight party-line vote, with only Malepeai and Sen. Nicole LeFavour, D-Boise, supporting it. Now, Sen. Monty Pearce, R-New Plymouth, has moved to send SB 1110, the pay for performance bill, to the full Senate with a recommendation that it pass.
