North Carolina House adjourns to reconvene Jan. 12 under S.J.R. 776
Summary
The North Carolina House approved the journal, heard brief ceremonial business and, by voice vote on a motion pursuant to Senate Joint Resolution 776 and Rule 15.1, adjourned to reconvene Monday, Jan. 12 at 10 a.m.; exact roll-call counts were not recorded in the transcript.
The North Carolina House of Representatives adjourned Monday after a brief session, voting by voice to reconvene Monday, Jan. 12 at 10:00 a.m. The motion to adjourn was offered under the authority of Senate Joint Resolution 776 and the chamber’s Rule 15.1.
Representative Penny moved that, "pursuant to Senate Joint Resolution 776, subject to the standard stipulation set forth in Rule 15.1, the House do now adjourn to reconvene Monday, January 12 at 10 a.m.," and the motion was seconded by Representative Chesser. After calling for the ayes and noes, the presiding officer declared, "The ayes have it and the House stands adjourned." The transcript records this as a voice vote; no numerical tally or roll-call names were provided.
Earlier in the short opening session, Representative Chesser delivered the opening prayer and the chamber recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Representative Penny moved to approve the journal for the Dec. 15 session; the presiding officer announced the ayes carried and the journal was approved.
No committee reports, substantive debates, amendments, or recorded roll-call votes appear in the transcript. The adjournment and reconvening date were taken under a Senate joint resolution and subject to an internal chamber rule, indicating the scheduling was procedural rather than a substantive legislative decision.
The House is scheduled to reconvene Monday, Jan. 12 at 10:00 a.m., per the motion adopted during this session.
