For their first General Assembly meeting of the semester, ASMSU passed three bills: 62-56, 62-57 and 62-58.
- Bill 62-56 aims to allocate 10,000 dollars from the ASMSU general fund to sustain the operation of the MSU Esports Lounge, housed in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences.
- Bill 62-56 calls to advocate for handicap placard parking access adjacent to the Veterinary Medicine Building.
- Bill 62-57 formally adopted ASMSU’s Updated Office of the President (OOTP) Review Board Handbook for Use in All Future Sessions.
MSU Esports director Christopher Bilski attended the meeting in support of Bill 62-56: "ASMSU's mission to support student-well being and access in campus life aligns closely with the work of MSU Esports," Bilski said. "This funding would directly support critical technology and staffing needs for our Esports spaces."
Along with the three bills passed Thursday night, ASMSU President Kathryn Harding announced that Bill 62-40, which advocated for the integration of “What3Words” technology into the SafeMSU Mobile Application, was successful. When students open up the application, What3Words technology appears at the top of the screen and is accessible in case of emergency.
"Bill 62-40 is now closed! This is your reminder that our advocacy and work in ASMSU does make a difference, so keep up the great work," Harding said.
Vice President for Student Allocations Tanvi Rayapeddi reported to the General Assembly that the Student Allocation Board will begin its functions starting on January 26 in order to allocate funding for groups part of MSU RSOs and the Activity Department.
