House records change of vote on House Bill 525, dispenses with journal and adjourns until Monday
Summary
During a House floor session, members approved a request to change a recorded vote on House Bill 525, voted to dispense with the reading of the journal and adjourned until 4 p.m. Monday; roll-call tallies were not provided in the transcript.
During a session of the House of Representatives, members approved a request to change a recorded vote on House Bill 525 and dispensed with the reading of the journal before adjourning until 4 p.m. Monday.
Representative Powell moved to dispense with the reading of the journal; the clerk announced, "The ayes have it." The transcript does not include a roll-call tally for that motion.
A representative then asked to change a vote on yesterday's calendar for item number 9525 (referred to in the transcript as House Bill 525), saying the member wished to change a recorded vote from "no" to "yes." The floor asked, "Is there objection?" The transcript records an objection being raised in relation to a "ladies' vote change," and later records an announcement that the item was changed from "nay" to "ye." The transcript does not show a roll-call tally or the name of the member whose vote was changed.
The House then adopted a motion to stand adjourned until 4 p.m. Monday; the clerk again announced that the ayes had it.
Several ceremonial introductions and guest welcomes were made during the session, including Judge Alicia Thomas of Bolivar County, Pauline Rogers of the Rich Foundation and visitors associated with the organizing group Mississippi Women in the Lead. Those introductions were ceremonial and did not produce recorded votes or formal actions in the transcript.
