Summary
On the floor the House recorded multiple actions: H.4720 received second reading by voice vote announced as 107–0; H.4756 received third reading and was adopted; H.3222 was committed to Judiciary; numerous concurrent resolutions naming roads and memorials were adopted; the House adjourned to reconvene tomorrow at 10 a.m.
The House completed a busy floor session that included bill readings, committee referrals, recorded roll-call results and the adoption of multiple concurrent resolutions.
Key floor actions included:
- H.4720: Clerk announced that 'By a vote of 107 to 0, House Bill 4,720 received second reading.' Rep. Jeff Johnson explained the bill as allowing a solicitor to re-offer Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI) after 20 years for certain minor crimes at a prosecutor's request.
- H.4756: The House resolved the pending question on the third reading of H.4756 and declared the bill received third reading and adopted.
- H.3222: After Senate amendments were reported, Rep. Brandon Newton moved to commit H.3222 to the Judiciary Committee; the motion carried and the bill was committed for further consideration.
- Concurrent resolutions: The House adopted numerous concurrent resolutions naming roads and honoring community members across multiple counties (Anderson, Spartanburg, Aiken, Lawrence, York, Lexington, Chester, Allendale, Dillon, Dorchester, among others); the clerk announced each adoption by 'Ayes have it' or unanimous consent where recorded.
- Procedural and scheduling actions: The House recurred the morning hour, added a concurrent resolution expressing sorrow for the loss of Beverly Clyburn to the record, clarified committee meeting times after adjournment, and then adjourned to meet tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.
Several items were placed on the contested calendar for later debate; where a roll-call tally was recorded, it is reported above. Other adoptions were recorded by voice vote without a numeric roll call in the transcript.
