Washington House opens, notes signed concurrent resolutions and adjourns to Jan. 15
Summary
The Washington State House convened for a brief procedural session: roll call, a flag escort and pledge, an invocation, messages noting House and Senate concurrent resolutions signed by legislative leaders, and adjournment until 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 15; the transcript does not include the resolutions' texts or a meeting date.
The Washington State House convened in a short, procedural session that included roll call, ceremonial items and messages from the Senate noting that concurrent resolutions had been signed by legislative leaders.
The session opened when the presiding officer called the body to order and the clerk read the roll. A quorum was announced. The flags were escorted to the rostrum by sergeant-at-arms color guard members Daniella Cruz and Andrew Baxter, and the House recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Pastor Gordy Hutchins of Evergreen Grace Church in Tacoma offered the invocation, closing with a light-hearted remark, “Go Hawks.”
By unanimous consent, the minutes of the preceding day stood approved. The clerk reported a message from the Senate stating that the president had signed House Concurrent Resolutions 4406 and 4407; Sarah Bannister, the secretary, read the message. The presiding officer then signed Senate Concurrent Resolution 8407; the transcript records the signings but does not provide the text or subject matter of any of the resolutions. The House acknowledged receipt of the message.
By consent, bills, memorials and resolutions on the introductions sheet were read for the first time and referred to the committees designated. Representative Ortiz Self (member from the 21st District) announced that Democrats would caucus after adjournment; a member from the 20th District announced Republicans would caucus after adjournment.
The House adjourned by consent until 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, January 15, described as the fourth legislative day. The transcript does not specify the calendar year or provide details of the resolutions mentioned.
