House approves minutes, adopts ceremonial resolutions by consent and fast-tracks substitute senate bill 6003 to second reading
Summary
The House approved the previous day’s minutes, adopted a slate of ceremonial resolutions by unanimous consent and, after suspending the rules, placed substitute senate bill 6003 on the second‑reading calendar; the chamber adjourned until 9 a.m. Tuesday, March 3.
The speaker called the House to order and, by unanimous consent, approved the minutes of the preceding day and adopted a group of resolutions honoring individuals and commemorating anniversaries.
Among the resolutions recorded by the speaker were House Resolution 4699 honoring Dean Bridal; House Resolution 4702 commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States; House Resolution 4703 honoring Shaidley Van Scholquake; House Resolution 4704 commemorating the Seattle Seahawks organization; House Resolution 4705 celebrating economic ties between Washington, Mexico and Canada; House Resolution 4706 recognizing Every Child Matters Day; and a resolution marking the fiftieth anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. All were adopted by unanimous consent, with no recorded roll-call votes.
The clerk read a series of messages from the Senate reporting passed measures; the House recorded those messages as received. The messages as read included signatures recorded in the text of the messages (the transcript records the names Sarah Bannister and Colleen Bahar as secretary and deputy secretary on those messages).
Under the fourth order of business the House placed bills and resolutions on first reading and referred them to the committees designated on today’s introduction sheet. By unanimous consent — with the rules suspended — the House placed substitute senate bill 6003 on the second‑reading calendar, an action that advances the bill’s consideration without a separate recorded vote.
The clerk subsequently read committee reports and additional bills for referral, including a second engrossed substitute senate bill and a subsequent senate bill listed on the calendar. The speaker closed the day by adjourning the House until 9 a.m. Tuesday, March 3, the 51st legislative day.
No recorded roll-call votes were taken on floor motions during the session described in the transcript; items listed as "placed on the second-reading calendar" or "referred to committee" reflect procedural placement rather than final enactment.
