The Senate will convene at 2:00pm on Monday, May 6, 2013.
- Following any Leader remarks, the Senate will be in morning business until 5:30pm with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each.
- At 5:30pm, the Senate will resume consideration of S.743, the Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013, post-cloture. The filing deadline for 2nd degree amendments to S.743 is 4:00pm.
- At 5:30pm, all post-cloture time will be yielded back, the Durbin amendment #745 will be withdrawn, no other 2nd degree amendments will be in order and the Senate will proceed to 2 roll call votes in relation to the following:
- Enzi-Durbin amendment #741 and
- Passage of S.743, as amended, if amended.
- Upon the disposition of S.743, there will be a 3rd roll call vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to S.601, the Water Resources Development Act of 2013.
The cloture motion on the motion to proceed to S.601, Water Resources Development Act, was withdrawn. At 2:15pm tomorrow, Tuesday, May 7, the motion to proceed to S.601 will be agreed to, and the Senate will begin consideration of the bill.
We may be able to consider the Enzi-Durbin amendment #741 (perfecting substitute) to S.743, Marketplace Fairness Act, without a roll call vote. If so, there would only be 1 vote at 5:30pm on passage of S.743, as amended. If a roll call vote is requested, there would be 2 votes.

Agreed To: 70-24
6:12pm The Senate began a roll call vote on passage of S.743, Marketplace Fairness Act.
Prior to the vote on passage of Marketplace Fairness Act, Senator Reid asked consent to go to conference on the Budget resolution. Senator Cruz objected.

Â
Leader:           I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed to the consideration of Calendar #33, H.Con.Res.25; that all after the enacting clause be stricken; that the amendment which is at the desk, the text of S.Con.Res.8, the budget resolution passed by the Senate, be inserted in lieu thereof; that H.Con.Res.25, as amended be agreed to; the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table; that the Senate insist on its amendment, request a conference with the House on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses; and the Chair be authorized to appoint conferees on the part of the Senate, all with no intervening action or debate.
Chair:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Is there an objection to the request?
Cruz:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Reserved his right to object and asked that the Leader modify his request so that it not be in order for the Senate to consider a conference report that includes tax increases or reconciliation instructions to increase taxes or to raise the debt limit.
