House adopts four resolutions by consent, receives Senate message and adjourns until Feb. 10

The House adopted four resolutions by unanimous consent and adjourned until 9 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 10, after receiving a message that the Senate had passed "Senate Bill 51 85," the presiding officer said.

The actions came during routine floor proceedings. The chamber, called to order by an unidentified presiding officer who stated, "The house will be in order," adopted House Resolution 46 78 honoring Cal Riley; House Resolution 46 82 celebrating Lunar New Year; House Resolution 46 83 recognizing the Girl Scouts; and House Resolution 46 84 recognizing the partnership between Washington state and Ireland. The presiding officer announced the adoptions "with the consent of the house," and, after there was no objection, ordered them adopted.

Colin Pahar, who identified himself as deputy secretary, read a message from the Senate: "Mister speaker, the senate is passed to senate bill 51 85," which the presiding officer acknowledged as received. The House also agreed, by the consent procedure, that bills, memorials and resolutions printed on the day's introduction sheet would be treated as first reading and referred to the committees designated on that sheet. Committee reports under the fifth order of business were likewise referred to the committees so designated.

Before adjournment, the presiding officer announced that, "with the consent of the house, the house will now adjourn until 9AM, Tuesday, February 10, the thirtieth legislative day," and, hearing no objection, ordered the adjournment. The final words on the floor were, "House is now adjourned until 9AM, Tuesday, February 10."
