Senate reads multiple file lists, reassigns SB 235 to Judiciary, adopts committee report and adjourns to Jan. 14
Summary
During a short floor session the Senate clerk read three file lists of bills, the chamber adopted a committee report by voice vote, announced a reassignment of Senate Bill 235 to the Judiciary Committee, approved a package of author motions and adjourned until Jan. 14, 2025.
The Senate read multiple file lists of bills, approved a committee report by voice vote, announced a committee reassignment for Senate Bill 235 and adjourned until Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025, at 1:30 p.m., the presiding officer said.
The clerk read file list number 7 and then file lists number 8 and 9, verbally listing a large series of bill numbers (SP and SB series). The transcript records the clerk calling a long sequence of file numbers but does not include bill titles or summaries in the record.
A committee report was called for and taken by voice vote. The presiding officer asked, “All those in favor, say aye.” The transcript records the response and the presiding officer saying, “The committee report is adopted.” The report’s subject and any vote tally were not specified in the transcript.
The clerk also announced a reassignment for a bill: “Pursuant to senate rule 23 … the senate bill 235 currently assigned a committee on education redevelopment … be reassigned a committee on judiciary under Bray,” the clerk said. The announcement invoked Senate rules but the transcript does not include debate or a recorded roll-call on the reassignment.
Senators then handled author motions in a single consent motion. The presiding officer asked if there was consent to take them in one motion; after a voice vote the motion passed. The record does not list the individual author motions or sponsors.
Senator Gordon warned members to avoid a hallway on exiting the chamber, saying members should “avoid this hallway at all costs.” Senator Garten moved to adjourn, saying, “I move that the senate do now adjourn until Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at 1:30 PM.” The motion carried by voice vote and the Senate stood adjourned to the stated date and time.
The transcript excerpt contains procedural business and bill introductions but provides no titles, summaries, or committee reports' content. No formal roll-call vote tallies or bill summaries appear in the provided record.
