The codes were revised by the V^UllMllUllUllcll IXCWIIIC V^uillllllltee, which rewrote the constitution this past year. The codes are rules for the senate to conduct proper procedure. Before the bill presenting them was passed, an amendment presented by Sen. Steve McElveen on behalf of the Finance v^uiiuiuiiwv ^ui i tu iiwaivu utuait. It was finally voted down by a vote of 16 opposed, seven in favor and three in abstention. McElveen's bill would have alio- "id the committee to allocate fun a from fall reallocation money into an unbudgeted Capital Expenditure Account controlled by the senate. The purpose was to establish a savings account for leftover funds at the end of the fiscal year on June 30 until a project is designated oy the committee.

Harry Sharp and other senators objected to saving activities fees, saying saving funds would reduce money during reallocation. "In this instance, without a set goal in mind, I don't believe it is right to stockpile money," Sharp said, adding it would help no one. Sharp also said the amendmentwas vague because it didn't limit how much the senate could withold from reallocation.
