The Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety recessed its markup and will reconvene Wednesday, June 25, at 9 a.m. in Room 500, Chair Brooke Pinto said.
Pinto, who identified herself as "the Chairman of the Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety," said the committee had a quorum and that "pursuant to counsel period 26, rule 2 2 6 10, we have decided to recess today's markup until tomorrow morning at 9 a.m." She added that "all of the committee members have waived the notice requirement, for the measures that we're going to be voting on tomorrow morning."
The chair listed the five members constituting the quorum: Council Member Charles Allen, Ward 6; Council Member Wendell Felder, Ward 7; at-large Council Member Anita Bonds; and at-large Council Member Kenyon McDuffie. Pinto thanked colleagues and the public for their patience and cited a "truncated budget timeline" as part of the context for the scheduling decision.
