Senate accedes to House adjournment request; places wide list of bills on file and conducts first readings
Summary
The Senate voted to accede to the House’s request to adjourn and placed a large number of bills on file and on first reading; the transcript records the House messages, the Senate’s procedural vote, and a long list of bills read by title.
The Arizona Senate voted to accede to a message from the House of Representatives asking for mutual adjournment dates and then proceeded with committee and first-reading business on Jan. 15, 2025.
A message from the House, read into the record, informed the Senate that the House granted consent for adjournment: the House requested adjournment from Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025, after it completes its labors until Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025 (one message) and in a separate message until Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2025 (as read). The chief clerk of the House, Crystal Isferanu, was identified in that written message.
A senator moved that the Senate accede to the House request; the presiding officer called the vote and the motion carried (“so ordered” in the transcript). The transcript does not reflect a roll-call or a named, recorded vote tally for that motion.
After the procedural vote, the Senate placed a large number of bills on file and read a long list of bills on first reading. Titles read in the transcript include (selected, by bill number): Senate Bill 1001 (early ballots identification tabulation); SB 1002 (pronouns / biological school policy); SB 1003 (public schools restroom reasonable accommodations); SB 1006 (fair jury improvement fund); SB 1016 (wind farms locations limits); SB 1019 (photo enforcement systems prohibition); SB 1026 (virtual currency, property tax exemption); SB 1033 (animal seizure bond amounts); SB 1043 (homeless shelter services fund appropriations); SB 1044 and SB 1045 (secure behavioral health facilities; appropriations); SB 1052 (voter registration temporary absence); SB 1095 (central bank digital currency ban); SB 1100 and SB 1101 (Maricopa County, new counties division); and many others as recorded in the transcript. Where the transcript listed bills by title only, no further details or committee actions were provided in the reading.
Committee announcements followed, including scheduled committee meetings: the Senate Education Committee was scheduled for Jan. 16 at 2 p.m. or upon adjournment in Senate Hearing Room 1; the Senate Health and Human Services Committee and a House committee were scheduled for Jan. 17 at 9 a.m. in HHR 1.
Later in the session the Senate adopted a motion to stand adjourned until Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025, at 10 a.m.; that motion was approved by voice vote as recorded in the transcript. The transcript records the motions and the readings but does not show individual roll-call tallies for the procedural votes.
