Mississippi House session: member seeks to change recorded vote on House Bill 981; chamber adjourns until Monday
Summary
During a brief floor session, a member asked to change a recorded vote on House Bill 981, a request to waive reading of bill introductions drew an objection, members approved adjourning in memory of Betty Bligh, and the House stood adjourned until 4 p.m. Monday.
The Mississippi House of Representatives opened with a prayer and handled routine procedural business before a member asked to change a recorded vote on House Bill 981.
Mr. Smith asked the chamber, "With unanimous consent, I need to change my vote on House Bill 981 from yay to nay," prompting brief clarification among members about the request and its recording. The transcript records the request and floor discussion but does not include a roll-call recording of the changed vote.
Earlier in the session the floor recognized the gentleman from Harrison, Mr. Haney, and a member asked unanimous consent to dispense with the reading of bill introductions; an objection was entered, so the reading was not waived.
During member announcements the lady from DeSoto, Miss Rematt, asked that the House adjourn in memory of Betty Bligh, who she said died this week at 100 years old. Members agreed to the request.
Finally, the House adopted a motion to stand adjourned until 4 p.m. Monday; the presiding officer announced, "The ayes have it," and the chamber adjourned.
The transcript does not provide a full roll-call vote for the requested change on House Bill 981; the record shows the member’s request and floor confirmation but not an updated individual vote tally.
