House receives Senate messages on multiple bills; motion to "circle" a Senate bill withdrawn
Summary
On the House floor the reading clerk announced the Senate had passed several bills and transmitted them for the speaker’s signature; members debated a procedural motion to "circle" Senate Bill 5,006 that Representative Vadaire later withdrew.
On the House floor, the reading clerk announced that the Senate had passed several measures and transmitted them for the speaker’s signature, including Senate Bill 5,010 and House Bills 5,005, 5,008 and 5,007, the clerk said. The message was read aloud and concluded, “Respectfully, Annette B. Moore, Secretary of the Senate.”
The presiding member then took up procedural business, noting that Senate Bill 5,010 would be considered and read for the first time and that the House had recessed earlier while debating another bill. The presiding member introduced a motion to "circle" (place on the calendar) what he called "first substantive Senate Bill 5,006," and outlined the voting procedure for a circling motion.
Representative Vadaire withdrew his motion to circle the bill before a vote was recorded. Members then were asked whether they had copies of several Senate bills—5,007, 5,009 and 5,010—and were invited to raise their hands if they did not.
The reading clerk’s announcement and the subsequent procedural exchange were routine floor activity that advances bills between chambers and manages the House calendar; no final House action on the listed Senate measures was recorded in the transcript excerpt. The House will take further procedural steps according to its rules to place bills on the calendar and to secure the speaker’s signature on messages transmitted from the Senate.
