House adopts speaker-made committee appointments; names Sylvia Sievert clerk
Summary
The Maryland House of Delegates adopted a set of speaker-made committee appointments and named Sylvia Sievert as a clerk during its Feb. 25, 2025 session; the appointments were adopted by voice with no recorded objection.
The Maryland House of Delegates adopted speaker-made appointments to two standing committees and named Sylvia Sievert as a clerk during its Feb. 25, 2025 session.
The speaker announced the appointments: Kim Ross to the Health and Government Operations Committee, Sean Stinnett to the Judiciary Committee, and Sylvia Sievert as clerk. The chamber adopted the appointments after a presiding officer asked if there were any objections and none were voiced: "Hearing no objection, the appointments are adopted." The clerk then moved the session forward to the consent calendar.
The action was taken without a recorded roll-call vote and with no debate reported in the transcript. The record shows the appointments were made by the speaker and accepted by the chamber by unanimous voice recognition, not by individual member tally or separate motion.
