The North Carolina House of Representatives convened for a brief procedural session that included a prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, approval of the May 19 journal and a motion to adjourn to reconvene Wednesday, May 21 at 9:00 a.m.
McKenna Daley, administrative clerk for the office of the house principal clerk, delivered the opening prayer and asked members to 'go forth with love in our hearts and in our actions.' The presiding officer then led members in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Representative Clapham moved that the journal for May 19 be approved as written, saying the journal 'has been examined and found to be correct.' The presiding officer called for the voice vote; members responded "aye," and the presiding officer declared that the ayes had it and the journal was approved.
The presiding officer announced that the House will hold a pro forma, no‑vote session at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow and asked members to watch their email for details about the voting session. After asking for other notices and hearing none, Representative Clampett moved that the House 'do now adjourn to reconvene Wednesday, May 21 at 9AM, subject to the standard stipulation set forth in rule 15.1.' The presiding officer again called for a voice vote; members responded "aye," the presiding officer said the ayes had it, and the House stood adjourned.
No substantive debate, amendments or roll-call votes were recorded during the session. The next scheduled convening is Wednesday, May 21 at 9:00 a.m., subject to the House’s Rule 15.1 stipulation.
