North Carolina House approves Dec. 18 journal, withdraws calendar items to Feb. 9 and adjourns to Jan. 15

The North Carolina House met for a short procedural session that opened with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance and concluded after a series of routine motions.

Representative White moved to approve the House journal for Dec. 18 “as written,” and the presiding officer asked those in favor to say “aye.” The ayes were recorded by voice and the journal was approved. The approval was a voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

Following the journal approval, the presiding officer instructed the clerk to withdraw the bills that had appeared on that day’s calendar and to place them on the calendar for Feb. 9. The action was announced from the floor; no debate or objection appears in the record.

Representative White then moved that the House adjourn and reconvene on Thursday, January 15 at 10:20–10:30 a.m., ‘‘subject to the standard stipulation set forth in rule 15 1,’’ as stated on the floor. The presiding officer put the question; members answered “aye,” and the House stood adjourned.

The session began with Representative White offering a prayer, citing Ecclesiastes 3:1 (“To everything, there is a season”), and concluded with the procedural scheduling actions above. No committee reports, substantive policy debates, or roll-call votes were recorded in the provided transcript of this sitting.

The House is scheduled to reconvene on the date announced on the floor; the transcript does not record additional materials, bill numbers, vote tallies, or further committee instructions.
