Loading...
Summary
The Alabama Senate unanimously confirmed a slate of appointments to state textbook committees for social studies and arts education, approving nominees including Haralyn Benjamin, Robin Dunn and others by roll calls recorded as unanimous or near-unanimous. The confirmations were handled by the committee on confirmations and adopted without objection.
The Alabama Senate on the floor confirmed a series of appointments to State Textbook Committees for social studies and arts education on a series of roll votes and long-roll calls.
Senator Weaver moved that the Senate confirm Haralyn Benjamin to the State Textbook Committee for Social Studies using a long roll; the Senate recorded the vote as 30 ayes, 0 nays and confirmed Benjamin. The chamber proceeded to confirm Robin Dunn, Deitra Howie, Rebecca Mender and others after the committee reported favorable recommendations.
Other confirmed nominees named by the committee and the Senate during the session included Lakisha Cahill (State Textbook Committee for Arts Education), Kevin King (Arts Education), Kristen/Crystal Law (Arts Education) and Dana Marie Lemmer (Arts Education). Each confirmation was presented by the committee on confirmations and adopted without recorded opposition when the Senate used the previous roll or long roll procedures as requested by motion.
The confirmations were routine and presented under the committee’s favorable reports; the clerk and secretary recorded the roll and long-roll tallies that resulted in the confirmations. No roll-call objections or recorded no-votes were announced on the floor during these confirmation items.
The Senate moved on after completing the confirmations to other business on the special-order calendar.
