Representative moves dozens of bills to House third-reading calendar; motion passes
Summary
A Representative moved to lift a slate of bills from rules to the House third-reading calendar; the presiding officer called a voice vote and the motion passed. The list includes multiple House bills and a concurrent resolution and advances those measures toward final consideration.
Representative Harper was recognized and moved that the House "lift the following bills from rules and place them on the House third reading calendar for bills," listing a slate of measures and a concurrent resolution. The request included House Bill 137 (HB 137), HB 314, HB 469, HB 369, HB 301, House Concurrent Resolution 12 (HCR 12), HB 400, several first-substitute bills (including first substitute HB 495 and first substitute HB 273), and others.
The presiding officer called for discussion; none was offered. The presiding officer then called for a voice vote. After members answered “aye,” the presiding officer announced the motion passed. The clerk read the consolidated list of bills that will appear on the House third-reading calendar.
Placing a bill on the third-reading calendar schedules it for final floor consideration and a potential vote on final passage. No debate on the merits of individual bills was recorded during this proceeding; the motion simply advances the listed measures to the next stage of floor action.
The House moved rapidly through the procedural business and did not record roll-call vote tallies for the calendar motion; the presiding officer reported the motion passed by voice vote. The bills named by the representative will appear on the House third-reading calendar for future floor action.
