Representative Steinke rose to the point of order that Assembly Amendment 2 to Assembly Substitute Amendment 1 to Assembly Bill 1 was not properly before the body as it was non-germane under Assembly rule 54 (3)f.

I find the point of order well taken.

The Dean of the Assembly Representative Sinicki contended that the amendment was in fact germane because it dealt with topics such as prescription drug coverage and women’s healthcare coverage.

ASA1 to AB1 deals specifically with under what terms an insurance provider may or may not decline coverage to an individual. Nowhere in ASA1 to AB1 are the content of insurance plans mentioned. AA2 seeks to include what content must be included in insurance coverage, which is not the original intent of AB1 or ASA1 to AB1. Therefore, AA2 is clearly non-germane as it dramatically expands the scope of the bill.”
