Tennessee House passes consent calendar; concurs on SJR 6 and SJR 140
Summary
The Tennessee House passed the consent calendar on third reading and separately concurred with Senate Joint Resolution 6 and Senate Joint Resolution 140; vote tallies and procedural actions were recorded on the House floor.
The Tennessee House of Representatives approved its consent calendar on third and final consideration and voted to concur in two Senate joint resolutions during floor proceedings.
Shirley Moody moved passage of the consent calendar under Rule 50; the Clerk reported the vote as "Ayes 92, no nays," and the speaker declared the consent calendar passed. Representative Moody made the motion to pass the items on the third and final consideration in keeping with Rule 50.
Representative McCallman moved concurrence in Senate Joint Resolution 6, described on the floor as a resolution commending the October 7 Coalition and co-founders Patricia Heen and Elizabeth Doros for bringing attention to atrocities in Israel. The Clerk recorded the roll call as 71 yeas and 19 nays; the speaker declared concurrence.
Leader Blair Lambert moved that the rules be suspended for immediate consideration of Senate Joint Resolution 140, a concurrent resolution to provide for a recess in the proceedings of the 104th General Assembly. After the motion and consideration, the house concurred and the House stood in recess until 9 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 20, 2025, by unanimous voice agreement on the floor.
Earlier in the session Leader Lambert moved that House Bills 1004 and 1005 be passed on second consideration to be held on the desk and referred to committee; the motion was met with an "objection ordered" and therefore did not proceed at that time. Clerks and the speaker handled roll calls and scheduling announcements during the proceedings.
