House takes care of routine business: first readings, committee appointments and adjournment
Summary
The Missouri House conducted first readings of three measures, the speaker appointed members to a committee, the journal for a previous day was approved, and the House adjourned to a future date by voice vote.
The House completed routine business on Jan. 27, including first readings of three measures, appointment of committee members, approval of the journal for a prior day and an adjournment motion to reconvene on a later date.
The clerk read three items on first reading: House Joint Resolution No. 72, described as "an act relating to the advertising and promotion of marijuana sales" and introduced by Representative Sasseman; House Bill 1048, introduced by Representative Violet, "an act relating to license plates and placards for persons with disabilities with penalty provisions"; and House Bill 1049, introduced by Representative Owen, "an act relating to financial institutions." The readings were informational; no floor debate or vote on the measures occurred during the session.
The speaker announced appointments to a committee pursuant to a resolution (HCR 1). The announcement named Representatives Van Schaik, Vernetti, Vanderman, Deal, Violet, Woods, Young, Taylor (District 804), West, and Fuchs to serve on the committee. The appointment was announced from the floor and recorded in the session minutes; the transcript does not show a separate roll-call vote on the appointments.
Earlier in the session, a motion to approve the House journal for a prior day was made by the gentleman from Greene County and recorded as approved following the clerk's tally. The transcript records the motion, a request for a roll-call vote, and the clerk's announcement that the motion was approved, but the detailed vote tally was not clearly provided in the transcript.
At the end of the session the gentleman from Greene County moved that the House stand adjourned until 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025. The motion carried by voice vote and the Speaker declared the House adjourned.
No substantive floor debate on the first-read bills or committee appointments occurred during the session; the items were entered on the record for future consideration.
