North Carolina House approves June 30 journal, votes to adjourn and reconvene July 7
Summary
In a brief procedural session, the North Carolina House approved the June 30 journal by voice vote, heard announcements about possible votes later in July, and voted to adjourn to reconvene Monday, July 7 at 10:30 a.m., subject to Rule 15.1 and messages from the governor and Senate.
The North Carolina House of Representatives approved the journal for its June 30 proceedings and agreed to adjourn and reconvene next month during a short procedural session.
A member reported that the June 30 journal had been examined and "found to be correct," and an unidentified member moved, "I move that it be approved as written." A voice vote followed; the presiding officer declared the ayes had it and the journal was approved.
The chamber also received housekeeping announcements: the clerk was ordered to read messages from the governor and the Senate upon adjournment, and a speaker noted that votes could be held in the House July 29–31. Later in the session, a motion was made to adjourn and reconvene on Monday, July 7, at 10:30 a.m., "subject to the standard stipulation set forth in Rule 15.1" and to consider messages from the governor. The transcript records Representative Whitley as making the motion and Representative White as seconding it. A voice vote was taken and the presiding officer declared the motion adopted; the House then stood adjourned.
The session consisted largely of routine procedural business: opening formalities, a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, approval of the journal, and scheduling. No legislative debate or votes on bills were recorded in the provided segment. The next scheduled reconvening is Monday, July 7 at 10:30 a.m., subject to the conditions noted during the motion.
