Mississippi Senate tables motion to reconsider an appropriation, approves routine procedural measures and recesses
Summary
The Mississippi Senate voted to table a motion to reconsider an appropriation item described in the record as "appropriation Mary Smith," approved a series of procedural dispensations and passed a motion to recess until 5 p.m.; details of the appropriations item were not specified on the floor.
The Mississippi Senate on the floor at the State Capitol in Jackson voted to table a motion to reconsider an appropriation item recorded in the transcript as “appropriation Mary Smith,” and approved several routine procedural measures before standing in recess until 5 p.m.
Senator Hobson moved, “My motion is to table the motion to reconsider.” The motion to table was adopted by voice vote; the clerk recorded “aye” and the presiding officer said, “The ayes have it.”
The action prevents the Senate from moving forward with reconsideration of the appropriation motion while the motion remains tabled. The transcript does not provide further details on the appropriation’s purpose, dollar amount, or sponsor beyond the floor reference “appropriation Mary Smith.”
