House receives Senate messages on substitute bills, refers introduction sheet to first reading and adjourns
Summary
During a short session the House of Representatives received messages that the Senate had passed two substitute bills, ordered bills on the introduction sheet to first reading and committee referral, and adjourned until a scheduled date and time.
The House of Representatives received messages from the Senate that two substitute bills had passed and completed a series of routine procedural actions, the presiding officer said.
A clerk read messages stating, "Mister Speaker, the Senate has passed in gross substitute senate bill number 50 14" and later "Mister Speaker, the Senate has passed in gross substitute senate bill number 52," the transcript shows. The clerk identified Colleen Bahar as Deputy Secretary during the sequence of messages.
The House then, by unanimous consent, ordered that "the bills, memorials, and resolutions printed on today's introduction sheet will be considered first reading under the fourth order of business and will be referred to the committee so designated," the presiding officer said. The chamber similarly consented to refer the measures listed on the day's committee reports under the fifth order of business to the committees named on those reports.
Finally, the House adjourned "until 09:55AM, Friday, February 20," the presiding officer said in closing remarks recorded in the transcript. The transcript's phrasing of the legislative-day numbering was unclear; the precise legislative-day label is not specified.
The transcript does not record debate on the two Senate substitute bills, the content of the introduction-sheet measures, or any roll-call votes; the actions recorded are receipt of messages, ministerial referrals to committees, and adjournment.
