Missouri House approves daily journal by roll call, reads three measures including adoption penalty bill
Summary
The Missouri House approved the House Journal for the 12th day (Jan. 28, 2025) by roll call (140-1, 2 present) and during the same session read House Joint Resolutions 76 and 77 and House Bill 1103 for first consideration; additional details on the measures were not specified in the transcript.
The Missouri House of Representatives approved the House Journal for the twelfth day, Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025, by roll call, and later read three measures for first consideration.
“I move for the approval for the House Journal for the twelfth day, Tuesday, 01/28/2025, and ask for a roll call vote,” the gentleman from Greene County said as he moved to approve the journal. The clerk later announced the result as “140 ayes, 1 nay and 2 presents,” and said the motion was approved.
The clerk read the first reading of three measures: “House joint resolution number 76, introduced by CUPS, an act relating to state revenue; House joint resolution number 77, introduced by CUPS, an act relating to constitutional amendments; and House bill number 1103, introduced by Mayhew, an act relating to adoption with a penalty provision.” The transcript did not specify committee referrals, bill text details, or next steps for those measures.
Approving the House Journal is routine housekeeping that officially records the body’s previous proceedings; a roll-call approval confirms the official record. Reading bills into the record typically places them on the chamber’s calendar for referral to committee or further action, but the transcript contains no subsequent committee assignments or debate on the measures read.
Later in the session the gentleman from Greene County moved that the House stand adjourned until 10 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 30, 2025; the ayes prevailed and the chamber adjourned.
