Loading...
Summary
On a unanimous‑consent request recorded on the floor, the Senate suspended its rules to consider House No. 4621 forthwith and ordered the bill to a third reading after a voice vote; the transcript records no roll‑call tally.
Miss Doaner (identified in the transcript) asked unanimous consent that the rules be suspended to allow immediate consideration of House No. 4621, a House bill described on the floor as a change in the board of selectmen in the town of Boylestick. The presiding officer asked if there was an objection, announced none and stated, "And the rules are suspended."
The presiding officer then put the question on ordering the bill to a third reading, called for a voice vote and announced, "The ayes have it," and ordered the bill to a third reading. The transcript characterizes the action as an ordering to third reading rather than final passage; the record does not include a roll‑call tally or named mover and seconder for the request or the order.
Advancing a House bill to third reading by suspending rules is a procedural means to speed consideration on the floor. The transcript does not include further debate or the text of any amendment; the bill's next procedural step recorded in this excerpt is being placed on the calendar for third reading.
