House approves May 29 journal, sets reconvene for June 3
Summary
The House opened with a prayer by McKenney Daley, approved the May 29 journal by voice vote, announced tomorrow's voting and administrative session times, and adjourned to reconvene Tuesday, June 3 at 11:00 a.m., subject to rule 15.1.
The House convened and opened with an invocation from McKenney Daley, administrative clerk for the office of the house principal clerk, who asked members to "pray with me as you see fit" and led the chamber saying, "Dear Lord, thank you for this day."
Members joined in the Pledge of Allegiance. Representative White was then recognized and moved that the journal for May 29 "be approved as written." The presiding officer put the motion to a voice vote and announced, "The ayes have it and the journal is approved as written."
The presiding officer made several routine announcements, saying votes the following day would be held at 4:00 p.m. and that an administrative session would begin at 11:00 a.m. The chair welcomed the pages and described the upcoming period as an "administrative session," noting the constitution requires the chamber to reconvene regularly.
Representative White moved that the House "do now adjourn to reconvene Tuesday, June 3 at 11 a.m., subject to the standard stipulation set forth in rule 15.1." The motion was carried by voice vote and the presiding officer declared the House adjourned.
The transcript does not specify the calendar date of this sitting; the next procedural step on the floor is the reconvening on Tuesday, June 3 at 11:00 a.m., as announced.
