A bill from the Indian Student Association was presented. They were looking to have a high-quality Diwali event this year. The request was made for $450. This Association was denied a CASI grant, as they did not have enough events in their application. Proxy Kraios motioned to decrease the amount to $300. Governor Becky Lewis seconded that motion. Governor Jenny Reto called the amendment to question and received a second from Governor Lewis. The amendment passed 3-0-0. The bill itself was then called to question. It passed 3-0-0, granting the Indian Student Association $300.
