Joint Committee on State -Tribal Relations elects Senator Larry Alley chair
Summary
The Joint Committee on State -Tribal Relations completed its organizational elections in a brief session, electing Senator Larry Alley as chair, selecting a House vice chair (nominee not fully identified in the record) and naming Senator David Haley as the committee's ranking minority member by voice votes with no opposition recorded.
The Joint Committee on State -Tribal Relations elected Senator Larry Alley as chair and completed its organizational votes during a brief organizational meeting. Representative Kessler nominated Alley for chair, a nomination that was seconded and approved by voice vote. The committee also selected a vice chair from the House and named Senator David Haley as the ranking minority member.
The committee opened by asking for nominations for a Senate chair. Representative Kessler said, "I would like to nominate Senator Larry Alley for chair, please." The nomination was seconded and advanced to a voice vote; members responded with "aye," and no opposition was recorded in the transcript. After the vote the presiding facilitator "turned it over" to Chair Alley.
The next agenda item was the election of a vice chair from the House. The transcript records one House member present and a nomination from the House, but the record identifies the nominee only as "K." and does not provide a full name. The motion was seconded by Senator Ware, carried by voice vote, and the facilitator announced the result.
Finally, the committee moved to elect a ranking minority member. A motion to nominate Senator David Haley as ranking minority was made and seconded by Senator Ware. That motion also passed by voice vote; the transcript records members answering "Aye" and contains no recorded opposed votes.
The committee adjourned after completing those organizational items.
(Notes: the meeting transcript does not include a calendar date, roll-call vote tallies, or a full name for the House vice chair nominee; those details were not specified in the record.)
