Government Operations committee forwards 49-bill consent calendar to calendar and rules after unanimous voice vote
Summary
On Feb. 10, 2025, the Government Operations committee voted to give a positive recommendation to a 49-bill consent calendar and forwarded the items to calendar and rules; the committee recorded 10 ayes and no objections during the meeting.
The Government Operations committee convened on Feb. 10, 2025, and voted to give a positive recommendation to a consent calendar containing 49 bills, forwarding the items to the chamber’s calendar and rules committee.
The move came during routine business after the chair confirmed a quorum. Representative Antonio Parkinson offered the motion for a positive recommendation; a second was recorded but not named in the transcript. The clerk announced a recorded tally of 10 ayes. The committee clerk stated, “Mister chair, you have 10 ayes.”
The action required no debate: committee members took roll, members introduced themselves earlier in the session, and the chair asked whether there were objections to the consent calendar. None were raised. The committee then voted and the clerk announced the result, after which the committee chair instructed staff to forward the items to calendar and rules.
