Votes at a glance: House adopts three procedural resolutions on opening day
Summary
The Connecticut House adopted two House resolutions (HR1 and HR2) and one Senate joint resolution (SJR1) by voice votes on Feb. 4; the transcript records the adoptions but does not provide roll-call tallies.
On the opening day of the 2026 short legislative session, the Connecticut House adopted three procedural resolutions by voice vote.
House Resolution 1, "a resolution concerning the printing of the House Journal," was introduced by Representative Rojas and adopted on immediate consideration after the majority leader moved for suspension of the rules and moved adoption. The clerk read the resolution and the Speaker recorded, "Aye... Aye's have it. Resolution is adopted." The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes or tallies for the measure.
House Resolution 2, introduced by Representative Rojas and described as "raising a committee to inform the Senate that the House is ready to meet in joint convention," was likewise moved for immediate consideration and adoption by voice vote. The Speaker appointed Representative Joe Gres Co, Representative Hill de Santiago, and Representative Tom O'Day to inform the Senate that the House was ready to meet.
Senate Joint Resolution 1, concerning publication of the legislative bulletin and printing of bills and expenses (introduced by Senator Duff and Representative Rojas), was also read and adopted by voice vote after the majority leader moved adoption. As with the other measures, the transcript records only the voice vote outcome ('Ayes have it') and does not provide a numeric tally or a roll-call record.
What to note: All three measures were procedural in nature and adopted by voice vote on opening day; the transcript does not include recorded individual votes or numerical tallies for these adoptions. If a roll-call or recorded tally is required for official minutes, that detail is not present in the public transcript used for this summary.
Provenance: HR1 (first read and adoption): SEG 360–389; HR2 (first read and adoption): SEG 390–406; SJR1 (read and adoption): SEG 1330–1355.
Ending: The adoptions concluded routine opening-day business and cleared the House to proceed with introductions and subsequent committee and floor work during the compressed short-session calendar.
