House adjourns to May 13; chair withdraws House Bill 560 and sends it to Rules
Summary
On legislative day 55 the North Carolina House approved the May 8 journal, voted to adjourn to reconvene Tuesday, May 13 at 11:00 a.m., and the chair announced withdrawal of House Bill 560 (Parents Protection Act) from calendar 36B and referral to the committee on rules.
The North Carolina House of Representatives convened for legislative day 55, approved last session’s journal, agreed to adjourn and reconvene next week, and recorded a procedural withdrawal and referral of a bill from the calendar.
Representative Goodwin was recognized and moved that “the journal for May 8 be approved as written.” The presiding voice called for ayes and the journal was approved on voice vote.
Later in the brief session, Representative Goodwin moved that the House “to now adjourn to reconvene Tuesday, May 13 at 11AM, subject to the standard stipulation set forth in Rule 15.1,” a motion the transcript records as seconded by Representative White. The presiding voice announced the ayes and declared, “The House is adjourned.” No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript; the actions were taken by voice vote.
The chair then announced a procedural motion removing a bill from the calendar and sending it to committee. The announcement stated: “House Bill 560, Parents Protection Act is withdrawn from the calendar 36B and referred to the committee on rules.” The transcript spells the bill number with spacing in one line; this article renders that reference as House Bill 560 (Parents Protection Act) while noting the transcript’s original formatting.
No floor debate over the substance of the bill, minutes, or the reconvening date appears in the transcript. The session opened with a prayer by Representative White and the Pledge of Allegiance before the procedural business. The House is scheduled to reconvene Tuesday, May 13, at 11:00 a.m., under Rule 15.1.
