Senate approves journal, secretary reads House files and chamber adjourns until March 31
Summary
The Senate approved its journal, the secretary announced a series of House‑passed bills from March 26, 2025, introduced a gubernatorial appointee, and approved a motion to adjourn until Monday, March 31 at 1 p.m.
The Senate approved its journal, received multiple bills passed by the House on March 26, 2025, heard the introduction of a gubernatorial appointee and approved a motion to adjourn until Monday, March 31 at 1 p.m.
“Are there corrections to the journal? Hearing none, the journal is approved as printed,” the presiding officer said on the floor, and the approval was recorded in the session transcript.
The secretary informed the chamber that the House, on 03/26/2025, had passed multiple measures including bills described in the transcript as: Senate File 22 (health and public assistance programs), House File 571 (protections for medical practitioners and related matters), House File 639 (hazardous liquid pipelines and utilities commission provisions), House File 785 (charter school board member requirements), House File 792 (a cause of action related to fentanyl delivery), and several others listed on the record. The transcript gives short descriptive phrases as read aloud by the secretary; the Senate record here shows only the reading of those titles and not any Senate action on the individual bills.
For the information of the body, the secretary also named a gubernatorial appointee: "Adam Lathrop as the labor commissioner," according to the transcript.
Senator Whitver, the senator from Polk, moved to adjourn. “I move the senate adjourn until Monday, March 31 at 1PM,” Whitver said. The presiding officer called for the voice vote; the transcript records “Aye” and then notes the motion prevailed. The Senate was adjourned until Monday, March 31 at 1 p.m., according to the session record.
The transcript does not record roll‑call votes, committee referrals, or floor debate on the House bills that were read into the record during this session.
