House Health Care Committee elects Representative Mari Cordes as clerk
Summary
The House Health Care Committee elected Representative Mari Cordes as the committee clerk after a brief nomination and voice vote. The clerk will call the roll for committee votes and assist with submitting bills to the clerk's office.
The House Health Care Committee elected Representative Mari Cordes as its clerk during the committee's Jan. 15 meeting, the panel said at the start of its session.
The committee chair opened the meeting and described the clerk's duties — calling roll for votes, recording committee action and helping submit bills to the clerk's office. After a single nomination and a second, the chair put the selection to a voice vote. "All those in favor of Representative Mari Cordes being the clerk of House Health Care, say aye," the chair said; members responded "aye," and the chair declared, "The ayes do have it."
Cordes briefly accepted the role, saying "Thank you" after the vote. Committee members offered congratulations; one member noted Cordes's previous experience performing the role in recent years.
No mover, seconder or roll-call tally was recorded in the segment provided; the meeting transcript reports the result following a voice vote and says the ayes carried the motion.
The election was the first formal item on the committee's agenda and took place before the session moved into a technical briefing on Medicaid funding and policy.
The committee did not record any additional formal action on the clerk position during the meeting.
