House considers concurrence on House Bill 1063; vote details not specified
Summary
During the session the House took up a concurrence motion on House Bill 1063. Representative Haney said the bill contained no changes since a prior unanimous passage; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally or final outcome for the concurrence.
The House of Representatives took up a concurrence motion on House Bill 1063 during the session. Representative Haney, the House member from Harrison, told members the bill had not been changed since it was previously passed unanimously.
"There were no changes in this. This is what we passed out unanimously last week. And, we just moved to concur with them as speaker," Representative Haney said while explaining the motion.
The bill was listed as item number 10 on the concurrence or nonconcurrence calendar. The transcript records members being asked to vote (the clerk was asked to "open the machine" and later there was commentary that "everyone voted"), but it does not record a named roll-call, numeric tally, or an explicit announced outcome for the concurrence motion on the record.
Earlier in the session Representative Powell, the member from Rankin, moved to dispense with the reading of the journal; the presiding officer announced, "The ayes have it." The House also approved a motion to adjourn until 4 p.m. Monday; the presiding officer announced, "The ayes have it." These procedural motions are recorded in the transcript separate from the House Bill 1063 discussion.
The record contains no text of the bill itself, no committee report details, and no stated vote tally for the HB1063 concurrence. The transcript does note the bill was unchanged since a prior unanimous passage, but does not specify when that prior passage occurred or which chamber previously acted.
The session included brief procedural business and introductions; no further debate or amendment on House Bill 1063 was recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
