House adopts multiple resolutions, including HR 62 honoring Edwin Jerome "Jerry" Wilburn
Summary
The House adopted several House resolutions in block and by voice, including HR 62 commending the life and legacy of Edwin Jerome "Jerry" Wilburn; a request to change a prior vote on HB 1936 was objected to, and the House adjourned until Monday at 4 p.m.
The House moved through routine business Wednesday, adopting several House resolutions in block and taking a separate vote on HR 62, a resolution commending the life and service of Edwin Jerome "Jerry" Wilburn.
The Rules chair called up calendar items 1 and 2 in block for final passage; the clerk recorded a machine vote with a tally of 122 yeas and 0 nays, and the resolutions were adopted. The chair then called items 3 through 8, all House resolutions, which the membership adopted by voice after a brief opportunity to review.
On item 9, HR 62, the chair introduced the resolution "recognizing and commending the life and legacy of Edwin Jerome 'Jerry' Wilburn, and he was a former colleague," and the membership adopted it by voice. The chair then requested immediate release of the resolution, and the presiding officer noted no objection.
During member announcements, the gentleman from George, identified as Mr. Lott, requested unanimous consent to change one of a colleague's recorded votes on HB 1936 from Yes to No. Multiple members voiced objection to that request, preventing unanimous consent.
Before adjournment the House approved a motion that it stand adjourned until Monday at 4 p.m.; the presiding officer declared the House adjourned to that date and time.
The session included a ceremonial introduction of visiting page Trayson Pierce and an opening prayer led by the visitor; those ceremonial moments occurred before the chamber moved to its scheduled legislative business.
