Last week, members of the Wisconsin Union Council objected this legislation, saying it would give ASM too much power.
Representative Sarah Neibart and other members of ASM said the legislation was not intended to give ASM power, but to allow students to make a difference in decision-making.
""This is not ASM consolidating power, this is students having a voice on campus,"" Neibart said.
Also at the meeting, the council passed the creation of an ASM Sustainability Committee.
According to Representative Carl Fergus and Neibart, who proposed the implementation of the committee, the Sustainability Committee will address issues concerning environmental sustainability and bring together groups on campus that focus on these issues.
""I think the whole idea of this committee is to be a place where students can give an official voice to things on sustainability issues,"" Fergus said.
Student Council also passed changes to the eligibility requirements for groups to receive funding from the Student Services Finance Committee at the meeting.
SSFC member Rae Lymer said the changes would help prevent confusion regarding groups' eligibility.
""Overall, this is to address a lot of the issues we have been having with [Student Judiciary] and also to make requirements more specific,"" Lymer said.
Representative Andrea Nichols said she fears the changes would raise segregated fees for students.
Lymer said the changes would not affect segregated fees, but change what is incorporated in the budget.
According to Lymer, some of the changes would more clearly define members of student groups on campus and clarify what counts as ""direct service.""
ASM will take a final vote on all of the items from Wednesday's meeting next week.
Also at the meeting, ASM voted down the Campus Services Fund.
According to SSFC Chair Matt Manes, the CSF would allow ASM to provide students with services they deem necessary.
Other ASM members, however, said the proposal was too rushed to pass.
