House adopts resolution honoring domestic maritime industry; re‑refers bill and receives Senate message
Summary
In a brief session, the House adopted a resolution recognizing the domestic maritime industry by unanimous consent, received a Senate message reporting passage of a substituted bill, re‑referred a House bill from Appropriations to Rules, approved prior minutes, and adjourned until Feb. 6 at 9:55 a.m.
The House convened and, by unanimous consent, ordered the minutes of the preceding day to stand approved and adopted a resolution recognizing the value of the domestic maritime industry.
According to the transcript, the chamber accepted the resolution "by the consent of the house" and the presiding speaker closed each action with the phrase, "Hearing no objection, so ordered." The resolution's identifying number was not clearly specified in the transcript; the text records the adoption of a House resolution recognizing the domestic maritime industry but does not unambiguously provide a bill or resolution number.
Members also received a message from the Senate. A reader on the floor reported that "the senate has passed a gross substitute senate bill," and the message text in the transcript includes the name "Colleen Bahar, deputy secretary." The Senate bill number was not specified in the transcript.
Under the eighth order of business, the House announced that a House bill (read in the transcript as "house bill 15 70") would be re‑referred from the Appropriations Committee to the Rules Committee. The motion to re‑refer was made by unanimous consent and recorded in the transcript as ordered without objection. The transcript spacing makes the bill number ambiguous; the text reads "house bill 15 70." The transcript does not record any debate, roll-call, or recorded vote tallies for these actions.
The presiding speaker moved to adjourn, and the House stood adjourned until 9:55 a.m. Friday, Feb. 6. The transcript contains a variant reading of the legislative‑day phrasing.
The session was primarily procedural: adoption of a ceremonial resolution, formal receipt of a Senate message, committee re‑referral of a House bill, approval of minutes, and adjournment. No committee hearings, substantive debate on policy, or recorded roll‑call votes appear in the transcript.
