Senate Rules Committee approves administrative items, then moves to executive session

The Senate Rules Committee convened and established a quorum before approving three administrative items and adjourning the public meeting to an executive session.

Unidentified Speaker 1 opened the meeting and asked for a roll call to confirm a quorum. The roll call called the names Limon, Grove, Jones, Laird and Reyes; four members responded and the chair declared a quorum present.

On item 1, "reference of bills to committees," Senator Reyes made the motion. The secretary called the roll; Limon, Jones, Laird and Reyes recorded their votes as "aye." The chair announced the item was approved 4 to 0.

On item 2, the committee considered the weekly committee schedule for the 2026 legislative session. Senator Reyes moved the schedule. The roll call again recorded Limon, Jones, Laird and Reyes as "aye," and the chair announced approval 4 to 0.

The committee then took items 3 through 6, floor acknowledgments. Senator Reyes moved the items; after the secretary called the roll, the same four members voted "aye." The chair announced those items were approved 4 to 0.

After completing the public agenda, Unidentified Speaker 1 announced that the public portion of the meeting was concluded. The committee adjourned the public segment and convened an executive session; attendees were asked to clear the room before the closed session began.

There were no substantive policy debates, contested votes, or amendments recorded in the public transcript. Recorded roll calls and the repeated 4–0 tallies are the formal actions reflected in the minutes.
