Here is how it fared in the Assembly:
VOTES - ROLL CALL
MEASURE: AB 851
AUTHOR: Hoge
TOPIC: Equine activities: limitation of liability.
DATE: 01/25/96
LOCATION: ASM. FLOOR
MOTION: AB 851 HOGE THIRD READING
(AYES 48. NOES 19.) (PASS)
The Senate is Democratic-controlled and rather less friendly to changes
to liability law just now than the Assembly. The vote there is likely
to be more of a tossup *IF* it clears the committee.
