The Minnesota Senate on Feb. 17 adopted the committee reports printed in the session agenda, advancing items on the introduction calendar.
A senator moved on the floor, “I move the committee reports printed in the agenda be adopted.” Senator Murphy, presiding, then announced that items on the introduction calendar were given their first reading and referred as indicated, noting referrals to the Finance and Education committees as printed in the agenda.
The presiding officer directed members to specific pages of the agenda for the introduction calendar and referred bills accordingly; the action was taken by voice vote and no roll-call tally was recorded on the floor.
The floor remarks did not include debate on the individual bills or details of the measures; adoption of committee reports is a procedural step that forwards items for committee consideration or first reading.
