- Did not vote on an amendment for 2009 Senate Bill 1 (Phase out 22 percent MBT surcharge ). The amendment failed in the Senate (16 to 20) on January 29, 2009, to tie-bar the bill to Senate Bills 29-31, meaning this bill cannot become law unless that one does also. Those bills would prohibit enforcement of residential mortgage loan contracts for two years, and authorize state borrowing for delinquent mortgage loan guarantees . [Vote Details and Comments]
