Senate dispenses with journal, adopts resolution and recesses to joint session for governor's address
Summary
The Georgia Senate dispensed with and confirmed the journal, adopted a resolution recognizing Flat Creek Baptist Church, received a committee report recommending judicial appointments and voted to recess to a joint session where the governor delivered the State of the State.
The Georgia Senate opened with routine business: the presiding officer asked for and received unanimous consent to dispense with the reading of the journal and the body confirmed the journal.
Senator (speaker 7) read Senate Resolution 573, recognizing Flat Creek Baptist Church on its 200th anniversary; the chair heard no objection and the resolution was adopted by voice. The Senate committee on assignments reported that it had reviewed appointments to the Judicial Qualifications Commission and recommended confirmation of the named appointees.
Later in the morning, the majority leader (speaker 17) moved that the Senate stand in recess and convene a joint session with the House to hear the governor's address; the motion carried on a voice vote and the Senate joined the House for the State of the State. After the governor concluded, the joint session was formally dissolved and the Senate planned to adjourn until the date announced by the mover.
These procedural actions were taken by voice votes or by unanimous consent; the transcript records no roll-call tallies for those items.
