North Carolina House approves Jan. 12 journal, adjourns to reconvene Feb. 9
Summary
The North Carolina House opened with a prayer, approved the journal for Jan. 12 by voice vote and, on a motion by Rep. Penny seconded by Rep. White pursuant to Senate Joint Resolution 776 and Rule 15.1, adjourned to reconvene Monday, Feb. 9 at 10:00 a.m.
The North Carolina House of Representatives opened its session with an invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance and moved quickly through routine business Wednesday, approving the journal for Jan. 12 and adjourning to reconvene Monday, Feb. 9 at 10 a.m.
Representative Penny, who said the Jan. 12 journal had been examined and found correct, moved ‘‘that it be approved as written.’’ The presiding officer called for voice votes and the ayes prevailed; the journal was approved.
Later, citing Senate Joint Resolution 776, Representative Penny moved that the House ‘‘do now adjourn to reconvene Monday, February 9 at 10AM, subject to the standard stipulation set forth in Rule 15.1.’’ The motion was seconded by Representative White and restated by the presiding officer. After another voice vote, the presiding officer declared, "The ayes have it, and the house stands adjourned." The House is scheduled to reconvene at the stated time.
The actions taken at this short session were procedural: approval of the previous journal and formal adjournment under the authority of a senate joint resolution and House rule. No substantive bills or amendments were debated or voted on during the recorded segments.
