Senate recesses until March 24; executive nominations set for Monday
Summary
The Senate recessed after the presiding officer accepted a motion from the majority leader to adjourn until Monday, March 24, at 8 p.m.; members were also told executive nominations are on the Monday agenda at 5 (time of day not specified).
The Senate recessed Friday after the presiding officer granted unanimous consent to a motion by the majority leader to adjourn until Monday, March 24, at 8 p.m.
The schedule-setting move follows a brief floor check-in during which members were told that executive nominations would be considered Monday at 5 (the transcript did not specify a.m. or p.m.) and that committees were continuing their work.
"I would like to move that the Senate of Maryland recess until Monday March 24 at 8PM," the majority leader said. The presiding officer responded, "Without objection so ordered," and the chamber closed with members wishing one another a good weekend.
Clerks took the roll and confirmed a small number of members present before the recess motion. Aside from the scheduling announcements and a note that committees remain active, the floor did not take additional legislative action before recessing.
The motion was approved by unanimous consent; no roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript. The chamber will reconvene at the time stated in the motion.
