Kansas House adopts organizational resolutions, temporary rules for 2025 session
Summary
The Kansas House adopted multiple organizational resolutions—assigning leadership seats, establishing temporary rules and notifying the Senate—by voice votes during the Jan. 13 organizational session.
The Kansas House of Representatives adopted several organizational resolutions and temporary rules at its Jan. 13 organizational session.
House Resolution 6001, which notifies the Senate that the House is organized with its officers, passed on a voice vote after a motion to adopt by Representative Chris Croft. House Resolution 6002, assigning seats in the chamber, also passed on a voice vote after a motion by Representative Croft. House Resolution 6003, setting temporary rules for the 2025 regular session using the rules from the 2023–24 biennium until permanent rules are adopted, was adopted by voice vote as well.
The House also adopted House Concurrent Resolution 5002, which provides for joint sessions of the Senate and House to hear messages from the governor, the chief justice of the Kansas Supreme Court and the adjutant general; the majority leader moved adoption and the motion passed by voice vote. The House recorded appointments of members to attend the State of the State and related joint sessions as spelled out in the resolution reading.
Senate organizational actions were announced to the House, and the House adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 1601 informing the governor that the two houses are organized and ready to receive communications; that motion also passed by voice vote.
All adoptions during these items were taken by voice vote. The clerk confirmed the motions as adopted with the recorded phrasing, and no roll-call tallies were given in the transcript.
