Mississippi Senate approves rules calendar items 1–26 en bloc; motion to reconsider SB3032 entered
Summary
The Mississippi State Senate took up and approved rules calendar items 1–26 en bloc by morning roll call and recorded a motion to reconsider SB3032, an appropriation for the Emergency Management Agency. The body recessed until 5 p.m.
The Mississippi State Senate on Thursday approved rules calendar items 1 through 26 en bloc and recorded final passage by the morning roll call, and later recorded a motion to reconsider SB3032, the appropriation for the Emergency Management Agency.
Senator Kirby moved to suspend the rules and take up the rules calendar items 1–26 en bloc; after no senator requested to set items aside, the motion carried and members proceeded to final passage. Senator Kirby then asked that the morning roll call be used for final passage; the clerk recorded all present as voting aye, and the clerk reported that the bills and resolutions on that en bloc listing had passed.
The en bloc action compressed consideration and final passage of multiple calendar items into a single procedural vote. During discussion of items on the calendar, Senator Bridal spoke on House Concurrent Resolution 35, a commendation recognizing the People’s Bank of Ripley on its 100th anniversary and recalled longtime banker Bobby Martin; the transcript records his remarks but the final disposition of HCR 35 is not specified in the excerpt.
Later in the day, Senator Bridal entered a motion to reconsider SB3032, the appropriation for the Emergency Management Agency. The chair joined the motion and Mr. Clark, the Senate clerk, recorded it; the motion to reconsider was entered and recorded in the minutes, but no final re-vote or disposition on SB3032 appears in the provided transcript.
Separately, Senator Blackwell moved that the Senate stand in recess until 5 p.m.; the motion carried by voice vote and the Senate recessed. The journal will reflect that the Senate is adjourned until 4 p.m. Monday.
