Senate approves adjournment to Jan. 14, recesses until 5:35 p.m.
Summary
The state senate approved two procedural motions: to adjourn after the joint convention until Wednesday, Jan. 14 at 9 a.m., and to recess the current sitting until 5:35 p.m. Members also received a House message about a joint convention and heard brief announcements, including a caucus notice and a request for prayers for a colleague.
The presiding officer called the senate to order and the chamber approved the day’s journal before receiving a message from the House that it was ready to receive the Senate for a joint convention.
Representative Jones told the presiding officer, “Madam president, the house is ready to receive the senate and joint convention.” The message was received by the Senate.
During opening remarks, Senator Rosenboom, who offered the prayer, asked members to pray for Governor Reynolds as she prepares to deliver her annual speech tonight.
Senator Weiner announced, “Democrats will caucus in Room 24.”
Later in the session a senator identified in the transcript as the senator from Winneshiek moved that, upon the dissolution of the joint convention, the Senate be adjourned until Wednesday, Jan. 14, at 9 a.m. The presiding officer called for the question and the motion prevailed on a voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
The same senator then moved that the Senate recess until 5:35 p.m. The presiding officer put the question and the motion carried on a voice vote. The presiding officer declared, “The senate is recessed until 05:35PM. Please be back here promptly.”
No formal roll-call votes or amendments were recorded for either motion in the transcript. The session moved to recess with the expectation that members would return later in the day.
