Senate adopts standing committee reports, refers nominations and files withdrawn nomination
Summary
In a brief session, the Senate recorded attendance, filed a withdrawn nomination to the campaign spending commission, referred three transmitted nominations to committees, adopted a range of standing committee reports and set its next meeting time.
The Senate completed routine business including referral of nominations, adoption of standing committee reports and adjournment.
The body recorded 23 present and two excused during roll call and the clerk announced a withdrawn nomination from the governor to the Campaign Spending Commission. Governor’s Message No. 665, which the clerk described as withdrawing that nomination, was filed. Governor’s Messages Nos. 666 through 668, which transmitted nominations to various boards and commissions, were referred “in accordance with the referrals listed on the order of the day,” the clerk said.
The Senate adopted standing committee reports numbered 480 through 674 after Senator Wakai moved adoption and Senator Decourt seconded. There was no recorded debate; the presiding officer said the motion carried. Later, Senator Wakai moved that the Senate adjourn until 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18; Senator DeCorte seconded and the motion carried.
The actions moved the listed nominations into committee consideration and advanced dozens of measures by adopting a broad range of committee reports. No roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the transcript for the adopted committee reports or the adjournment motion; both were carried by voice vote as announced on the floor.
Attendance and routine proceedings concluded the session; the presiding officer invited members and guests to meet the honored visitors after adjournment.
