Rules Committee approves minutes and multiple reports; two roll-call votes unanimous
Summary
At a brief Rules Committee meeting, members approved the minutes and accepted the rules, referral and introduction reports, the resolutions report and a congratulatory report. Two items were decided by roll-call votes that recorded 12-0 tallies; the remaining items were approved without objection.
The Rules Committee met and approved the minutes and a series of administrative reports, including the rules report, bill referral report, introduction and referral report, resolutions report and a congratulatory report.
The approvals were largely routine. The committee chair moved each item for acceptance and, after committee review, members either approved the items without objection or on recorded roll-call votes. The chair announced a quorum was present at the start of the meeting.
Votes at a glance: the committee recorded two roll-call votes that were unanimous 12-0. The rules report and the bill referral report were each approved 12-0 on roll call. The introduction and referral report, the resolutions report and the congratulatory report were approved without objection after committee review.
Members present who registered votes included Speaker Huffman; Vice Chair Manning; Ranking Member Russo; and Representatives Byrd, Demetrio, Graham, Isaacson, Jarrells, John, McClain, Plummer and Santucci. The chair asked members to sign the rules and reform reports before leaving so the clerk would not have to track signatures later. With no further business, the committee adjourned.
The meeting record shows no substantive policy debate or amendments to the items considered; the session handled procedural housekeeping and formal acceptance of committee reports.
