Votes at a glance: House adopts order of business, privileged resolutions; adjourns until Jan. 16
Summary
On Jan. 15 the Georgia House adopted its order of business for the day, dispensed with the reading of the journal and confirmed it, adopted several privileged resolutions, and approved a motion to adjourn until Jan. 16, 2025 at 10 a.m.
ATLANTA — During the Jan. 15 session, the Georgia House of Representatives completed several routine procedural actions and adopted a set of privileged resolutions and orders for the day.
The House adopted the resolution establishing the order of business for the day after the clerk read the proposed order. The chair asked if there was any objection; none was heard and “the resolution’s adopted,” the transcript records.
The House also dispensed with the reading of the prior legislative day’s journal and confirmed the journal after a brief clerk announcement that the committee on information and audits had read the journals and found them correct.
Privileged resolutions read and adopted during the morning included recognitions for the Georgia Cancer Control Consortium (part of the Georgia Department of Public Health), designation of Jan. 21, 2025 as Addiction Recovery Awareness Day, and a commendation for Captain Matthew T. Brown upon his retirement. The clerk read captions for the privileged resolutions and the House adopted them.
Late in the day the Majority Leader moved that the House stand adjourned until 10 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025. The motion was put and approved.
Formal vote tallies were not recorded on the floor for the items listed in the transcript; the speaker treated the procedural items as adopted by unanimous consent or voice vote. The session then moved on to other morning orders and ceremonial recognitions.
