Summary
On the Senate floor the body passed Senate bill 27 23, designating April 27 as State Sheriff's Day; the measure passed on third reading by a 23-0 recorded voice vote on the consent calendar. Senator Rhodes spoke in support, thanking sheriffs for protecting legislators and staff.
The Senate passed Senate bill 27 23 on third reading, designating April 27 as State Sheriff's Day. The bill passed on the consent calendar with the clerk recording 23 ayes and the presiding officer announcing that SB 27 23 "passes third reading."
Senator Ron Rhodes (supporting) told colleagues the designation was warranted because sheriffs "have protected me and all the other members of this body and the House of Representatives and our staff for all those years," noting his two decades in the legislature. "I just wanna say thank you very much, and I really appreciate your efforts," he said.
The measure received no floor debate beyond the expression of support and proceeded under standard consent procedures. The clerk handled the third-reading call; the chamber recorded the voice tally and the presiding officer confirmed passage. The bill will proceed according to the Senate's subsequent processing rules.
The most recent formal action on SB 27 23 occurred on the floor during this session when the clerk announced the third-reading item and the body recorded the vote. No amendments or roll-call objections were presented in the transcript of the session.
