Summary
The House performed the oath of office for Norman Crow at the opening of the session and he offered brief remarks expressing eagerness to serve; the House then called the roll and confirmed a quorum to proceed with business.
Norman Crow was sworn in as the newest member of the House during the chamber’s opening at 08:30. The oath, administered on the floor, had Crow repeat that he would “support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Alabama” and to discharge the duties of his office to the best of his ability.
The exchange concluded with Crow offering brief remarks: “I’m excited to be here. I’m looking forward to working with every one of you to move to continue to move Alabama forward,” and briefly invoked a blessing, saying, “God bless all of y’all.” The chair congratulated him following the oath.
The swearing-in preceded the clerk’s calling of the roll, which showed 67 members present; the speaker announced a quorum was present, enabling the House to transact business for the day. The session then proceeded to a time-sensitive resolution and routine items on the agenda.
The oath-taking was ceremonial and procedural; no legislative action was taken in association with the swearing-in beyond the formal administration of the oath and the confirmation of the House’s ability to proceed.
