The Iowa Senate Commerce Committee adopted Rule 39, described in the meeting as "the rules for standing committees," by voice vote during its organizational meeting. Senator Mike Clemens moved adoption; the committee then voted by voice and the chair declared the rule adopted.
The move to approve Rule 39 began when a committee member said, "We need to approve rule 39, the rules for standing committees. Do I have a motion?" Senator Mike Clemens responded, "so moved," followed by the voice vote: "All in favor say aye. Aye." The chair then said, "Opposed say nay. Rule 39 is adopted."
Committee members then proceeded with self-introductions and brief organizational remarks. Chair Senator Mike Buslow thanked his clerk, Kennedy, and noted organizational roles for the coming session. The meeting concluded soon afterward with a motion to adjourn.
The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or a numerical tally for the adoption; the action was recorded as a voice vote and declared adopted by the chair.
