Senate approves journal, moves list of files to unfinished business and adjourns until April 7

The Senate approved its journal as printed, moved a list of senate files and attached house files to unfinished business by unanimous consent, and adjourned until Monday, April 7 at 1 p.m.

The actions occurred during the opening of the Senate session. With no corrections offered, the presiding officer announced, “the journal is approved as printed.” Shortly afterward, Senator Whitver, the senator from Polk, asked unanimous consent to move the list of Senate files and the attached House files that had been emailed to senators earlier that morning to unfinished business; the chair said, “Hearing no objections, so ordered.”

There was no recorded debate on the items moved to unfinished business. After those procedural items, Senator Whitver moved that the Senate adjourn until Monday, April 7 at 1 p.m.; the chamber responded by voice vote. “You’ve heard the motion of the senator from Polk, Senator Whitver. Those in favor of the motion say aye,” the presiding officer said. “The motion prevails and the Senate is adjourned until Monday, April 7 at 1 p.m.”

The session opened with routine chair business and ended with the scheduled adjournment; no substantive legislation was debated in the transcript provided. The next convening is set for Monday, April 7 at 1 p.m., per the Senate’s adjournment motion.
