Tennessee House passes consent calendar and two resolutions; withdraws bill from committee
Summary
The Tennessee House voted to pass the consent calendar (91 ayes), adopted House Joint Resolution 7‑11 (final tally recorded as 72‑17‑8) and House Joint Resolution 7‑39 (88 ayes), and approved withdrawal of House Bill 14‑90 from committee before standing recess.
The Tennessee House on Jan. 20 passed the consent calendar and adopted two resolutions on the regular calendar before taking a standing recess. Chair Charlene Moody moved passage of the consent calendar "on third and final consideration," and the clerk recorded 91 ayes and no nays; the speaker declared the consent calendar passed without objection.
On the regular calendar, Chairman Faison moved adoption of House Joint Resolution 7‑11 (honoring Charlie Kirk). Leader Lambert called the previous question; the clerk recorded 70 ayes and 19 nays on the motion for the previous question. The clerk's final tally on the resolution was reported as "72 17 8," and the speaker declared the resolution adopted with a constitutional majority despite an objection noted earlier in the process.
Chairman Clemens moved adoption of House Joint Resolution 7‑39 commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day (Jan. 27, 2026). No amendment was filed; the previous question was called and the clerk recorded 88 ayes and no nays. The speaker declared the resolution adopted.
Chairman Moon moved to withdraw House Bill 14‑90 from the committee and from the House; the motion carried without objection. Before adjourning, the clerk announced that, because of the Monday holiday, amendment‑filing deadlines for committees that meet on Tuesday will be the close of business Friday; members were also told ethics training would follow the session. The House stood at recess until 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026.
Why it matters: the votes approved ceremonial resolutions and routine matters that appear on the consent calendar and regular calendar; the withdrawal of HB 14‑90 removes that bill from committee consideration, and the scheduling notice affects amendment filing timelines.
