Rules Committee approves revote on consent agenda, leaves roll open for two minutes

The Rules Committee of the California State Assembly approved a revote on the consent agenda and passed the motion by roll call, the committee chair said.

The chair asked the secretary to call the roll and an unidentified member moved simply, “Revote.” A second was recorded. The secretary then read responses and recorded a series of “Aye” votes before the chair declared, “Motion passes and I’ll leave the roll open for 2 minutes for those who want to add on.”

The revote was procedural and concerned the committee’s consent agenda, a bundle of routine items that are typically passed without debate unless a member requests separate consideration. The transcript does not record substantive debate or amendments tied to the consent-agenda items during this session.

Committee members’ names were read during roll call and multiple members answered present. The secretary’s roll-call readout included the names Pacheco, Lackey, Arons, Dixon, Garcia, Gonzales, Irwin, Rodriguez, and a version rendered as Sanchez Zaber/Zuber in the minutes. The transcript does not provide a consolidated numeric tally beyond the recorded ayes; the chair’s announcement indicated the motion carried.

After stating the motion had passed and leaving the roll open for two minutes to allow any additional members to add on, the chair closed the meeting, saying, “Rules committee is now adjourned.”

The session was brief and strictly procedural: call to order, roll call, a motion to revote on the consent agenda, a roll-call approval, a brief extension of the roll, and adjournment. The transcript contains minor inconsistencies in the spelling and punctuation of some member names in the roll-call readout; the article reports names as they appear in the record.
