The Senate recessed after a brief floor session in which members were reminded of a 6 p.m. caucus and an ALEC meeting on the Senate Building calendar. Speaker 2 moved to recess until about 6:30 p.m., and the presiding speaker called the vote and recessed the body.
Speaker 2 (Unidentified Speaker) told colleagues: "Reminder that we will, caucus at 6 p.m. And then we will be back on the floor tonight, to continue to work." The same speaker moved that the chamber recess "until 06:30-ish." Speaker 1 (Unidentified Speaker) acknowledged the motion, reminded members of the reconvening time and invited members not in committee to attend an ALEC meeting titled "Rich States, Poor States" at the Senate Building.
