Members on the House floor approved a motion to resolve into a Committee of the Whole by voice vote.
Speaker 2 asked Representative Curtis to move the chamber into a Committee of the Whole and then announced the motion, stating, "I would move that we resolve ourselves into a committee of the whole." The presiding member called for 'aye' or 'no' and said the motion passes after a voice vote.
The chair confirmed "We're in Committee of the Whole," and extended a welcome to the governor present in the chamber. There was no recorded roll-call or recorded tally; floor procedure was completed by voice vote and the chamber paused briefly before proceeding with business.
The motion as moved and passed was procedural and did not include a recorded amendment or specific agenda item attached in the floor remarks. The floor then noted it was waiting for Representative Mascaro and expressed concern for Representative Lipback's return from the Senate before continuing further business.
