Senators Ciera Thomas, Allison Fine, Bryson Henriott and Will Harris authored the bill to further codify the Senate staff with an intent to clearly explain the purposes of the Senate staff positions and make the Legislative Branch more effective.
Senators Hadden Powell, Gaby Gagliano and Mary Lyn Dyer each spoke against the bill, expressing concerns that the piece of legislation needs to be revised before it can be passed, fearing the piece would limit the Senate staff to the roles described in the bill.
Senators Will Curvin, Kendall Henry and Connor Green, however, openly spoke and debated in favor of the bill, saying that codifying staff positions would increase studentâs accessibility to SGA.
