At the start of the session, Representative Zena Vanderwal moved to approve the committee minutes from Aug. 21. The motion was adopted by unanimous voice consent: "Without objection, so ordered," the chair announced.

Later in the meeting, the committee learned Representative Harris was attending a funeral for Lieutenant Jonathan Miner of the Springfield Township Fire Department. Representative VanderWaal moved to excuse Harris for the day; the motion was granted and the committee adjourned.

No roll-call tallies were entered into the transcript for either action.
