Senate Education Committee approves printing of three RSs by unanimous consent
Summary
The Senate Education Committee agreed to print three RSs listed on its agenda by unanimous consent and adjourned until next Monday; the RSs’ content was not specified in the meeting transcript.
The Senate Education Committee approved a unanimous-consent motion to print three RSs listed on its agenda and then adjourned until next Monday.
The action occurred after the committee chair told members the panel had “3 RS's before us today” and that the chair would place them “before you for your desire.” Senator Ward Engle King asked for unanimous consent, saying, “I ask unanimous consent that we print all 3 RS's.” The motion was moved and seconded, there was no further discussion, and the chair said, “Motion carries and we'll stand adjourned until next Monday.”
The transcript does not specify the subject matter, bill numbers, authors, or text of the three RSs. Committee members did not request a roll-call vote; the motion passed by unanimous consent without a recorded tally. The chair also said next Monday will be the last day the committee can accept RSs, a scheduling detail the transcript attributes to the opening remarks.
Because the RSs themselves were not described in the transcript, no substantive debate, fiscal detail, or policy language for those items was available to summarize. The committee gave staff direction only to print the three RSs and adjourned. The committee is scheduled to meet next Monday, when additional RSs may be considered.
