Tourism committee passes HB 2845 to designate Memorial Bridge
Summary
In executive session the Special Committee on Tourism voted 8–0 to pass HB 2845, sponsored by presenter Dornell, to designate a structure as Memorial Bridge; the transcript records no discussion and the committee adjourned after the vote.
The Special Committee on Tourism voted unanimously to pass HB 2845, a measure to designate Memorial Bridge, during an executive session. The motion to "vote due pass" was made and put to a roll-call vote; the clerk announced 8 in favor and no opposition.
Presenter Dornell introduced HB 2845 as relating to the designation of Memorial Bridge; the transcript records Dornell as the presenter but does not include the bill text or additional substantive details. The committee established a quorum earlier, with the presiding officer stating "with 8 present and 5 absent" before moving into executive session.
A formal motion that "HB 2845 be voted due pass" was recorded; the transcript does not specify who moved or seconded the motion. The clerk conducted the roll-call vote and announced the outcome. The transcript contains an inconsistency in the chair's name (recorded as both "Chairman Sites" and later as "Chairman Sykes"); the presiding officer is not otherwise identified by a full, unambiguous name in the transcript.
After the vote the presiding officer declared that HB 2845 had passed. The committee concluded the executive session, indicated there was no further business, and adjourned.
The transcript does not record any floor debate, amendments, or next steps for the bill (for example, referral, engrossment, enrollment, or scheduling for a subsequent reading).
