House suspends rules for final days, lifts Senate bills to calendar and recesses
Summary
Representative Harper successfully moved to consider bills under suspension of the rules for the session's final days, and the House lifted several Senate bills onto the third-reading calendar before adjourning briefly until 10:30.
On procedural motions, Representative Harper moved that bills considered during the final three days of the session be handled under suspension of the rules to ensure coverage for measures that had not been posted for a full legislative day; the motion passed with the required two-thirds vote. Harper then moved to lift multiple Senate bills (including SB113, SB222, SB51, SB77, SB119, and SB138) and place them at the bottom of the Senate third-reading calendar; that motion also passed. Finally, Representative Deese moved to recess until 10:30, and the chamber agreed.
These motions were procedural steps intended to clear calendar logistics and expedite consideration of bills late in the session.
