Committee adopts previous minutes and Rule 39; bills to be assigned to subcommittees
Summary
At a meeting of the 2025 Legislature IA, members adopted the minutes from the prior meeting by unanimous consent and approved Rule 39 on a motion from Senator Salmon; committee leadership said bills will be assigned to subcommittees starting that afternoon.
Senator Pike, presiding, opened the meeting of the 2025 Legislature IA and said the committee would “take roll silently” and that copies of the previous meeting’s minutes had been distributed electronically. Hearing no comments, the minutes were adopted by voice consent.
Senator Pike told members that bills would be assigned to subcommittee “very soon, starting this afternoon.” A copy of Rule 39 for standing committees was distributed, and Senator Salmon moved to adopt the rule. After a voice vote—“All in favor, say aye”—the chair recorded “Aye. Opposed? Motion carried.” Senator Pike then closed the meeting.
Why it matters: adopting the minutes and Rule 39 clears routine procedural items so the committee can begin assigning bills to subcommittees. Members were urged to schedule promptly to avoid being “backed up against the final date,” according to remarks during the meeting.
The record shows two formal outcomes recorded at the session: adoption of the prior meeting’s minutes by unanimous consent and adoption of Rule 39 on a Senator Salmon motion by voice vote. No recorded roll-call tallies or named dissenting votes were provided in the transcript.
No substantive debate on individual bills occurred during the portion of the meeting captured in the transcript; members were told subcommittee assignments and scheduling would begin that afternoon.
