Mississippi House adopts two resolutions and tables House Bill 1744
Summary
The Mississippi House of Representatives adopted House Resolutions 60 and 52 by voice vote and approved a motion to table House Bill 1744 during the legislative session; committee and calendar announcements followed and the House adjourned until 10 a.m. tomorrow.
The Mississippi House of Representatives adopted two ceremonial resolutions and voted to table House Bill 1744 during the floor session.
House leaders announced the report of the Committee on Rules listing House Resolution 60 (Mississippi Israel Joint Legislative Caucus) and House Resolution 52 (honoring Jimmy “Duck” Holmes). The clerk read the committee report, and the House approved both resolutions by voice vote. Speaker pro tempore announced, “The ayes have it.”
A separate motion on the calendar moved by Representative DeWeese (Lafayette) sought to table House Bill 1744. After no members requested debate, the House voted by voice; the Speaker again declared, “The ayes have it,” and the motion to table prevailed.
The session included several ceremonial recognitions and introductions (including a presentation honoring Dr. Jennifer K. Young Wallace and delegations from Alcorn State University), committee scheduling announcements for the coming day, and a final motion to adjourn. A motion from the gentleman from Rankin to adjourn was approved by voice vote and the House stood adjourned until 10 a.m. tomorrow.
Formal actions recorded in the transcript were limited to the voice approvals of the two resolutions and the successful motion to table the bill; no roll-call tallies, recorded yeas or nays, or seconder names were recorded for those voice votes in the transcript excerpt.
Committee meeting times and other housekeeping announcements were read into the record after the votes, and members were reminded of various committee meeting locations and times for the next day.
