Another vote update.

HR 729 ("Phylicia's Law") just passed the House by a vote of 319-60 (84%-16%). The law is designed to "help keep students safe on school-run, overnight, off-premises field trips." The law requires schools that sponsor such trips "to develop, and provide to parents whose children are to be taken on such trips, written safety plans that include: (1) policies on curfews, room checks, and chaperone qualifications; and (2) emergency procedures to be followed when a serious injury or death occurs."

Hard to see how anyone could oppose this sort of thing -- and as you can see by the vote tally, an overwhelming majority supported it.

But not John Carter. He voted against it.

Go figure.
