Senate approves journal; chair announces committee referrals; adjournment motion carries
Summary
The Iowa Senate approved its journal with no corrections, the chair announced committee referrals for three measures under Rule 38, and a motion to adjourn moved by Senator Whitver carried by voice vote.
The Iowa Senate approved the journal as printed and later carried a motion to adjourn after the chair announced several committee referrals.
Early in the session the presiding officer asked for corrections to the journal. Hearing none, “the journal was approved as printed,” the chair recorded.
The chair announced, pursuant to Rule 38, that Senate File 329 was referred from the Judiciary Committee to the Committee on Health and Human Services; Senate File 307 was referred to the Committee on Appropriations; and Senate Joint Resolution 4 was referred to the Committee on State Government. The chair framed the announcements as committee referrals rather than floor votes.
Late in the session Senator Jack Whitver (Polk) moved to adjourn until Thursday, Feb. 20, at 9 a.m. The motion was put by voice vote; the chair said, “The motion prevails,” and adjourned the Senate until the stated date. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or the name of a seconder for the motion.
No other formal floor votes or bill adoptions were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
