Joint convention adopts committee report and procedural resolutions during swearing-in session
Members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, sitting in joint convention with the State Senate, adopted procedural resolutions and heard a joint committee report that the votes for governor and executive council are correct.

Representatives Sweeney and Luno offered a resolution that "the House of Representatives notify the honorable Senate that it is ready to meet in joint convention for the purposes of hearing the report of the joint committee appointed to compare and count the votes for governor and executive council and for the inauguration of the governor and for taking of the oath by the executive council." The house adopted the resolution by voice vote: "The ayes have it. The resolution is adopted."

The joint convention then received the report of the joint committee appointed to compare and count the votes for governor and executive council. The committee, reported by Representative Steven Smith and others, stated that it "has attended to its duties and the vote is correct." The report was read in the joint convention; no further roll-call vote on the report was recorded in the transcript excerpt.

Separately, Representative Bogart moved to adjourn the House from the session of January 8, 2025; the motion passed on a voice vote. Representative Osborne moved that the House stand in recess for the purpose of introduction of bills, vacate motions, and receiving messages; that motion was also adopted by voice vote. Later, Representative Osborne and Senator Byrd moved that the joint convention arise; the motion carried.

The transcript records the clerk and sergeant-at-arms participating in formal introductions and the call of the joint convention, and multiple motions were decided by voice vote during the proceeding.
