Oklahoma Senate adopts motion to adjourn until Feb. 12
Summary
The Oklahoma Senate approved a motion to adjourn until Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 1:30 p.m., passed by voice vote and declared adopted by the presiding officer; the adjournment is contingent on clearing the clerk's desk.
The Oklahoma Senate voted to adjourn until Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 1:30 p.m., after a senator moved a procedural motion that was adopted by voice vote.
The motion, made near the end of the day’s session, called for adjournment “when the clerk’s desk is cleared.” The presiding officer announced the result after a voice vote, saying, “The motion is adopted.” No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
The brief action was taken after routine business and announcements earlier in the session, which included an invocation delivered by Senator Weaver and an introduction by Senator Guthrie of Zoe Blevins, a student at Oklahoma State University visiting the chamber. Senator Hicks also made an announcement that the women’s caucus had met to discuss women’s health and menopause.
Because the motion was decided by voice vote, the record in the transcript does not list individual yea or nay votes. The adjournment is therefore set to take effect once the clerk’s desk is cleared and the body reconvenes at the stated date and time.
