House passes House Bill 1002 with emergency clause; 99 yeas, one not voting
Summary
The House of Representatives voted to pass House Bill 1002, including its emergency clause, by a recorded tally of 99 yeas and one member not voting during the floor session; no floor debate on the bill was recorded in the transcript.
The House of Representatives passed House Bill 1,002 and its emergency clause by a recorded vote of 99 yeas and one member not voting during the floor session. The bill was read for the third time before the machine vote.
Representative Jean explained the bill on the floor; the transcript records no additional debate or floor amendments before the vote. The clerk handled the third reading and the electronic vote. The clerk announced the final tally as 99 yeas and one not voting and that the bill and its emergency clause had passed.
The passage followed routine committee reporting earlier in the morning. John Eubanks, chair of the House Rules committee, reported that his committee had considered House Resolution 1001 and recommended it pass as amended; he also reported recommendations that House Bill 10-56 and House Bill 10-80 do pass. Shad Pierce, vice chair, later reported the committee's recommendation on House Bill 10-80. The transcript does not record floor debate or recorded votes on those committee items during this session.
Members spent the remainder of the morning on calendar and committee announcements. Representative Meeks moved to adjourn until 10:30 a.m. tomorrow; the motion carried. Several standing and joint committees announced organizational meetings for the next day, including the Joint Energy Committee (15 minutes after adjournment, Room 171), the House Judiciary Committee (9:30 a.m., Room 149), public transportation (9:30 a.m., Mac B), House Education (9:30 a.m., Room 138) and House Management (15 minutes after adjournment). The desk remained open as needed for reading and bill transmittals following the adjournment motion.
The transcript does not specify the substantive content of House Bill 1,002, nor does it show roll-call vote details by member beyond the announced tally. Committee reports listed bills and a resolution returned with recommendations to pass, but no floor votes on those items are recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
