The Michigan House Rules Committee recorded roll-call action on multiple bills during its April 9 meeting.
Representative DeBoer moved to report "house bill 48 81" with recommendation; the clerk called the roll. Members who answered in the affirmative included Chair Schuette, Representative Zaragoza, Wenzel (Buenzel in the roll call), Representative Martin, Representative Posthumus, Representative DeBoer, Representative Whitworth, Representative Liberati and Representative Herzberg. The clerk announced the motion prevailed and "the bill is reported with recommendation." The committee then similarly reported "house bill 48 82" following Representative Posthumus’s motion, and "house bill 49 15" following Representative DeBoer’s motion; roll calls for those measures recorded the same set of affirmative responses and the clerk announced each motion prevailed.
The clerk’s announcements use imprecise phrasing in the transcript for the tally (e.g., a garbled readout), but the committee recorded unanimous affirmative responses from the members present and declared the motions to report the bills with recommendation carried.
