final vote was 94-52
It falls 6 votes short of blocking an override, however some democrats who voted against it have suggested they will reverse course if Gov. Douglas vetoes it as he says he will.
Stay tuned...
The Senate needs to repass it because of some language changes by the House.

The Senate will pass the changed version Monday and then the Gov is expected to veto later Monday. Both chambers have scheduled override votes for Tuesday.

Senate vte at 9AM, House at 10:30AM Tuesday
It will easily pass the Senate. Some house memers who voted against it are saying they will back their fellow members who passed the bill to help override it because they feel majority rules and the bill should become law because of how overwhelming the vote was.
