Speaker names Rep. Mari Watadabe to three committees; floor announces building walk and memorial details
Summary
The Speaker announced appointments of Representative Mari Watadabe to three committees and told members of an immediate walkthrough of the building's emergency egress routes and a public memorial event for former Senate President Peter Courtney.
The Speaker announced committee appointments and post-session logistics to the House floor.
Effective Jan. 21, the Speaker said, Representative Mari Watadabe was appointed to the House Economic Development, Small Business and Trade Committee; the House Emergency Management, General Government and Veterans Committee; and the Joint Ways and Means Subcommittee on Transportation and Economic Development.
Nut Graf: The appointments place Rep. Watadabe on three panels that handle economic development, emergency management and transportation-related budget matters. The Speaker also announced that immediately following the floor session members would be guided through a 10–15 minute walk of the building’s emergency egress routes and reminded members about a public memorial for former Senate President Peter Courtney scheduled for the following afternoon. Because public guests will be permitted on the floor during the memorial, the Speaker asked members to secure items on their desks.
Ending: The announcements were procedural and advisory; the transcript does not record any objections or votes related to the appointments or the logistical instructions.
