The presiding officer of the House of Representatives announced that a quorum was not present and, "without objection, the House stands adjourned until 12PM, Monday." The remark came after the chair said, "It is evident to the chair a quorum is not present."
Because a quorum was not present, the House did not conduct further business at that session and was adjourned by unanimous consent until 12 p.m. Monday, per the presiding officer's announcement. The transcript does not provide a date for the adjourned meeting or identify a named speaker beyond the presiding officer, and no roll-call votes or formal motions were recorded in the provided excerpt.
The adjournment was procedural: the chair declared the lack of quorum and used unanimous consent to set the reconvening time. The transcript does not specify whether any items were carried over to the reconvened session or whether additional notices were issued to members.
