“Mr. Speaker, this Bill is in reaction to an adverse court decision involving an unrelated matter. So, there was a criminal matter before a Circuit Court in one of the downstate counties where an indictment was dismissed because the underlying statute which supported the indictment had been lumped together with the enactment of the Short Term Borrowing Act. And the ruling of the judge held that there had been a violation of the single subject rule. So, our purpose here is to reenact the authority of the state to engage in short-term borrowing for cash flow purposes. It would simply obviate the effect of this Circuit Court ruling and I would move for the passage of the Bill.”
