Motion to take House File 20 from the table fails on tie vote
Summary
A motion to take House File 20 from the table and request a roll call failed on the House floor after a 67-67 tie vote, preventing immediate reconsideration of the bill.
On April 7, Rep. Niska moved to take House File 20 from the table and requested a roll call. The motion to remove the bill from the table is nondebatable; the clerk recorded 67 ayes and 67 nays and the motion did not prevail.
Representative Niska had argued for immediate consideration; the tie vote left the bill on the table and the House proceeded to other business.
The transcript records the vote tallies and the clerk—s announcement that the motion did not prevail. No further floor action on House File 20 appears in the provided excerpt.
