Senate recesses until 3:30 p.m. after motion from Chittenden senator
Summary
The Senate voted by voice to recess until 3:30 p.m. following a motion from the senator representing Chittenden, who said the pause was requested because expectations had not been met for the day’s business.
The Senate recessed until 3:30 p.m. after the senator from Chittenden moved for a short recess and the presiding officer called a voice vote.
The senator from Chittenden said, "As I've told senators, we are in the part of the year where we sometimes gather in and dabble out if our expectations have not been met at that point. With that said, I would ask for, a recess until 03:30." The presiding officer then asked, "Are you ready for the question? If so, all in favor, say aye," and declared, "Ayes have it. We'll stand in recess until 03:30."
The action was taken by voice vote; the transcript records no roll-call tally or a recorded second for the motion. The recess was procedural and no other substantive business or votes were recorded in the excerpt provided.
