Summary

The Senate recessed until 3 p.m. after the presiding officer said the governor was traveling outside the state and the lieutenant governor would not be available to preside.
The presiding officer said their ability to proceed was affected because the governor's travel left the podium unattended, and that Sen. John Rogers, the lieutenant governor, would not be able to serve at the podium until 3 p.m. The presiding officer then moved to recess the Senate until that time and gavels the body out.
No substantive legislative debate or votes were recorded in the transcript excerpt provided; the recess was procedural.
