Committee adopts rules unchanged from last year by voice vote
Summary
The committee established a quorum and adopted its rules — described by the chair as identical to last year’s — by voice vote; the motion and second were not recorded by name and no numeric tally was provided in the transcript.
With a quorum present, members of the committee voted to adopt the committee's rules, which the chair said were identical to the rules used last year.
Chairman Bill Werkheiser asked for a motion to adopt the rules and a member moved and another seconded; the transcript does not record the names of the mover and seconder. The motion passed on a voice vote. The chair called for opposed votes and none were recorded in the transcript. The transcript records only a voice "Aye" and does not list a numeric roll‑call tally.
Committee leadership said the rules will allow the committee to proceed with scheduled business, and members proceeded with introductions and other meeting items. No change to the rules’ text was discussed during the meeting and the chair described the adopted rules as “the exact rules that we had last year.”
