The Mississippi House of Representatives voted to adjourn until 9 a.m. tomorrow to allow members in northern Mississippi time to travel home amid forecasts of snow and ice. The presiding officer told members the Senate had planned a similar adjournment and suggested the House mirror that action.

Representative Yates said the Senate "is going to be passing a resolution tomorrow and sending it to us that we need to pass before the Court of Appeals anniversary luncheon tomorrow at 11:30." Representative Johnson said leaving early for travel safety was a "good idea," and the presiding officer said the body would "adjourn tomorrow for the week and go and mirror our center counterparts." Representative Gemma moved, "I move that the house stand adjourn until 9 AM tomorrow." The motion passed on a voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

Members had been told earlier that the Senate planned to adjourn until 9 a.m. the following day "due to the pending weather for the northern half of our state, specifically with the expected snow and ice accumulation there to allow a travel day tomorrow for them to go home," according to the presiding officer's remarks. Several members signaled agreement with the plan before the formal motion was offered.

The House convened and completed routine business, including introductions and announcements, before agreeing to the weather-related schedule change. The record in the transcript does not include a numeric vote count or the name of a seconder for the motion. The presiding officer closed the session by saying, "House will stand adjourned till 9 AM."
