Rules Committee unanimously authorizes a Bill that missed drafting deadline to move to finance
Summary
At a brief Rules Committee meeting, an unnamed committee member moved and the group approved a motion to allow a Bill that missed the drafting deadline to proceed directly to the finance committee so deliberations can begin.
An unnamed member of the Rules Committee called a short meeting and asked for a motion to allow a Bill that missed the drafting deadline to move directly to the finance committee so members there could begin deliberations.
The speaker said the measure "missed the drafting deadline" and added that they had spoken with committee members about the need for the Bill. The speaker requested "a motion that would preemptively allow it to move directly into finance so that they can begin deliberations on it." A motion was made and seconded; the speaker then called the vote and said the result was "Unanimous." No bill number or sponsor name was recorded in the transcript.
The transcript records the speaker calling for the vote with the words, "All those in favor, say aye." After the affirmative response, the speaker stated the outcome as "Unanimous." The record does not list individual votes, movers, or seconders by name. The committee then exchanged brief informal remarks and adjourned.
Because the transcript provides no bill number, sponsor name, or formal vote roll call, details such as the bill's text, its sponsor, and the number of committee members voting in favor are not specified in the meeting record. The action taken was an authorization allowing the Bill to proceed to the finance committee for further consideration.
