On the third day of the 2002 legislative session, lawmakers recessed for 30 minutes for a Republican caucus after Representative Garn moved the motion and the presiding officer announced it had passed. The chamber was scheduled to reconvene at 10:30.
The session opened with the presiding officer welcoming guests, including members of the League of Cities and Tawes. The presiding officer then announced that Representative Jim Gallons would lead the Pledge of Allegiance and the opening prayer. Representative Jim Gallons offered a prayer asking for "wisdom and the integrity to do the job" and mentioned visiting youth and their leaders.
Later in the morning the presiding officer said the body needed to "take care of business" off the floor and recognized Representative Garn. Representative Garn said, "Mr. Speaker, I move that we recess for 30 minutes for the purpose of the Republican caucus, and I would ask members of the Republican caucus to move quickly into 03:03 so we can take care of our business and be back out on the floor at 10:30."
