House of Representatives grants unanimous consent to skip introductions, adjourns until 4 p.m. Monday
Summary
The House of Representatives granted unanimous consent to dispense with the reading of introductions and approved a motion to adjourn until 4 p.m. Monday; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
The House of Representatives granted unanimous consent to dispense with the reading of introductions and approved a motion to adjourn until 4 p.m. Monday during its session, the presiding officer announced.
The consent request came when Representative Haney (the gentleman from Harrison) asked, “I ask unanimous consent to dispense the reading of the introductions.” Hearing none, the clerk indicated the procedure would be followed.
Later in the session, the member recorded as the gentleman from Holmes moved “that the House stand adjourn until 4PM on Monday.” The presiding officer summarized the voice vote: “If you favor that motion indicate by saying aye. Opposed, no. The ayes have it.” The speaker then said the House would stand adjourned until 4 p.m. Monday. The transcript does not include a roll-call or numerical tally for either action.
Both items were procedural housekeeping: the unanimous-consent request removed the formal reading of introductions from the record, and the adjournment motion set the next meeting time. No substantive legislation, committee referrals, or policy votes appear in the transcript excerpts reviewed.
The House’s next stated meeting time in the record is 4 p.m. Monday.
