The Senate took up the first reading of four bills and then recessed until 2 p.m. Monday, July 28 after a motion by Senator Zaffirini.

The move began with the committee secretary reading bills on first reading: Senate Bill 7 by Middleton and Colchorse (relating to the designation and use of certain spaces and facilities; transcript contains an unclear term rendered as "biological ***") was referred to State Affairs; Senate Bill 13 by Perry (relating to credits against impact fees for builders and developers for certain water conservation and reuse projects) was referred to the Select Committee on Disaster Preparedness and Flooding; Senate Bill 14 by King (relating to certain files maintained by law enforcement agencies about employees) was referred to State Affairs; and Senate Bill 15 by West (relating to recording requirements for certain documents concerning real property) was referred to Finance.

After the secretary read the bills, Senator Zaffirini moved that the Senate recess until 02:00 p.m. Monday, July 28. Senator Zaffirini said, "Mister president, I move that the senate recess until 02:00PM, Monday, July 28." The presiding officer asked, "Any objection?" and then noted, "Chair hears none," putting the body into recess by unanimous consent. No roll-call vote was recorded.

No debate on the bills or additional actions were recorded in the transcript provided. The session consisted principally of the reading of the bills on first reading, their committee referrals, and the recess motion.

The Senate is scheduled to reconvene at 2 p.m. Monday, July 28 to continue business.
