The motion prevailed.

Senator Bouchard's statement is as follows:

I would be remiss, I think, if I didn't congratulate the membership for their hard work on this, specifically the committee members. Senator Rogers, Senator Schuette, Senator Smith, and Senator Koivisto put in a lot of time, a lot of heart and a lot of soul. Initially when this all started a lot of nay-sayers out there felt there would be no way we could reach a bipartisan solution that would achieve a 75 percent vote. In fact, the joke goes, we can't get 75 percent of the people to agree on the color in the bathroom let alone something this important and substantive. I think we've proved them wrong. I just wanted to acknowledge the membership for all of their hard work, their willingness to stretch, their willingness to come up with creative solutions. Senator Posthumus and Senator Cherry, in their leadership roles to help this process move forward, I think have done a tremendous service to this whole process and quite frankly to the institution by proving that we can come together on very important, very difficult issues and reach a very strong solution. For that I thank both sides of the aisle and all the membership.
