The committee also adopted the governor’s letter requesting a legislative liaison staff appropriation; the chair said the committee would authorize drafting an appropriation bill to be returned for consideration.
How it happened: Committee staff identified the bills in the Senate and House packets and a committee member moved to pass each item; a second was recorded for each motion, discussion was noted as none, and the committee voice‑voted each motion. The transcript records the recurring procedure: “We’ve got a motion to pass. We’ve got a second. Any discussion on the motion? Seeing none, all those in favor signify by saying ‘Aye.’ All those opposed, motion carries.”
What the record shows: No roll‑call vote tallies or named movers/seconders were entered in the transcript provided; all motions were carried by voice as “motion carries.” The committee did not record any dissent or amendments on the bills during the session.
Ending: After the package and the governor’s letter were adopted, the committee adjourned and scheduled its next meeting for 9:00 a.m. the following Tuesday.
