Summary
The Senate announced referrals of House File 1017 and Senate File 546 to different standing committees and approved a motion to adjourn until Thursday, Jan. 29 at 9 a.m. by voice vote; vote counts were not specified on the record.
The presiding officer announced on the Senate floor that House File 1017 was referred from the Committee on Ways and Means to the Committee on State Government and that Senate File 546 was referred from the Committee on Natural Resources and Environment to the Committee on Commerce.
The referrals were made during routine business when the chair stated the committee actions, and no debate on either measure occurred on the floor that day. The chair announced the referrals to the chamber as part of the morning session.
Later in the session, the chair recognized the senator from Wenatcheeek, Senator Klemish, who moved that "the Senate adjourn until Thursday, January 29 at 9AM." The presiding officer put the motion to a voice vote; members called "Aye," the chair declared the motion prevailed, and the Senate was adjourned to the stated time. The record does not include a roll-call tally or named votes; the motion was carried by voice vote.
What happens next: Each referred file will proceed according to committee schedules for hearings and further consideration. No additional floor action on the two referred files was recorded during this session.
