Senate committee reports SB71 perfected and refers measure to fiscal oversight; chamber recesses until 1 p.m.
Summary
The Rules, Joint Rules, Resolutions and Ethics Committee reported that the senate substitute for the substitute to Senate Bill 71 was "truly perfected" and the measure was referred to the Committee on Fiscal Oversight. The Senate then recessed until 1 p.m. by unanimous consent.
During a Senate session, lawmakers moved a revised version of Senate Bill 71 to the Committee on Fiscal Oversight after a separate committee reported the bill had been perfected.
Senator Luetkemeyer, chair of the Rules, Joint Rules, Resolutions and Ethics Committee, told the Senate that his committee had "examined the same and finds that the bill has been truly perfected and that the printed copies furnished to senators are correct." He closed the committee report by signing it, saying, "Respectfully submitted. Senator Luetkemeyer, chair." The Senate then directed the secretary to refer the "senate substitute for senate committee substitute for senate bill number 71" to the Committee on Fiscal Oversight.
Later in the session a senator moved that the Senate "stand in recess until 1PM this day." The presiding officer said, "Hearing no objection, the senate will stand in recess until 1PM this day," and the chamber recessed by unanimous consent.
The committee report statement and the subsequent referral are recorded in the Senate proceedings; no roll-call vote on SB71 or on the referral was recorded in the available transcript. The recess was approved without objection rather than by a recorded vote.
