Senate dispenses with journal reading, advances agenda, refers bills and adjourns until Jan. 21
Summary
At a brief session on Jan. 19, the senate waived the reading of the prior day's journal, advanced to the fifth order for introduction and first reading of bills (including SB 6,222 and SB 6,247), referred measures to committees as designated, and adjourned until 12:30 PM on Jan. 21.
The senate convened at 12:30 PM on Monday, Jan. 19, under the president of the senate and immediately moved through routine business, waiving the reading of the previous day's journal and advancing its agenda to consider new bills.
A senator moved that "the reading of the journal be dispensed with and the journal of the previous day's business be approved." The presiding officer announced the motion and, hearing no objections, ordered it approved.
The senate then voted by unanimous consent to advance to the fifth order of business for introductions and first readings. Under that order, the secretary read the bills on the calendar, including "Senate Bill 6,222 by Senator Scott." The secretary also read "Senate Bill 6,247," which was announced as referred to the committee on early learning and K-twelve education.
A subsequent motion placed the measure on that day's introductions and referrals report into the committees as designated. The presiding officer again stated that there were no objections and ordered the referrals to stand as made.
Before adjourning, a senator moved that the senate adjourn until 12:30 PM on Wednesday, Jan. 21, the tenth legislative day. With no objections recorded, the presiding officer declared the senate adjourned.
What happened next: the senate is scheduled to reconvene at 12:30 PM on Wednesday, Jan. 21 (designated the tenth legislative day).
