Votes at a glance: House concurs with multiple Senate amendments and creates conference committees
Loading...
Summary
During the June 29 session the House registered concurrence or non-concurrence with numerous Senate amendments, appointed members to conference committees, and approved a calendar of final votes; multiple measures were approved on the floor.
The House recorded communications from the Secretary of the Senate listing many Senate amendments to House measures and then took a sequence of procedural votes to accept, not concur, or create conference committees for reconciliation. The official of the record read multiple measures and the presiding officer called concurrence or non-concurrence on a long list of bills.
For many measures the chamber did not concur with the Senate amendments and appointed conference committees composed of named representatives (members were read into the record repeatedly). A partial roll and concurrence votes were then taken for several measures that were placed on the final voting calendar. The official of the record later read that the conference substitute on RC-624 obtained 43 votes in favor and 3 against; the presiding officer also announced that across the day's final voting all measures obtained more than the 26 votes required for passage.
Measures noted on the calendar and in communications included multiple projects of the House (examples read aloud by the Secretary of the Senate and by House officers) and several resolutions and joint resolutions; where concurrence votes were held the floor recorded "aprobado." The House also approved procedural requests such as authorizing the Government Commission to meet in executive session on Resolution 975 and scheduled committee meetings as read into the record.
