House reports Senate passage of HB 5001; special session adjourns sine die
Summary
House members announced the Senate passed House Bill 5001 ("Uniform fees on personal property amendments") and transmitted it for the Speaker’s signature; the House then moved to adjourn the special session sine die and approved the motion by voice vote.
An unidentified House messenger told members that the Senate had passed House Bill 5001, "Uniform fees on personal property amendments," sponsored by Representative P Painter et al., and that the bill had been signed by the president and transmitted to the Speaker for signature.
The Reading Clerk confirmed: "House Bill 5,001 will be signed by the speaker and refer to staff for enrolling," completing the clerical steps to prepare the enrolled bill for final processing.
Representative Morley reported the House had finished its business and said the chamber was "ready to adjourn, say, and die," using the transcript phrasing for what is commonly described as adjournment sine die. With that, Representative Alexander moved that the special session "adjourn sine die." The presiding officer called for the ayes; the motion was approved by voice vote and the Chair stated the motion passes.
No roll-call vote on the motion or on House Bill 5001 appears in the transcript provided. The record shows the bill was transmitted for the Speaker’s signature and referred to staff for enrollment; no further debate or amendments appear in these segments.
After the Chair announced the motion had passed, the presiding officer stated the House would "stand in adjournment," ending the special session.
