Presiding officer authorized to appoint committee to "wait upon" Senate and governor; four appointees named

Unidentified Speaker 2 moved that the body "allow the speaker to appoint a committee to wait upon the Senate and also the governor," a procedural request to empower the presiding officer to name envoys to notify or meet with those offices.

The motion, recorded in the transcript beginning with Unidentified Speaker 2, was followed by Unidentified Speaker 1’s announcement: "The speaker appoints representatives, Dayton, representatives, Throckmorton, Way, and Duckworth to wait on the governor." The transcript does not record a roll-call or voice vote; it shows the presiding officer announcing the appointees and the session proceeding with informal remarks.

The exchange included a brief clarification about informing the Senate and governor that the body was "ready to adjourn," repeated by both unidentified speakers. Unidentified Speaker 2 also noted that the governor was present in the chamber, saying, "Governor is in the back" and calling out the name "Glenn." The transcript does not identify the governor by full name or specify the legislative chamber or body by formal title.

Following the announcement, speakers made brief informal remarks addressing the governor and others in the room; no additional motions, amendments or recorded votes related to this item appear in the provided transcript. The record therefore shows (1) a motion to empower the presiding officer to appoint a committee, (2) an announced set of appointees, and (3) acknowledgment of the governor’s presence, with no formal roll-call vote documented.

The transcript uses the phrase "wait upon," a traditional term meaning to formally visit or notify an official office; the record does not detail the committee’s next steps or whether a formal meeting with the Senate or governor occurred after the appointment.
