House Calendar and Rules Committee advances slate of bills; returns one measure to Education
Summary
In a brief session the House Calendar and Rules Committee advanced a short list of bills to Monday's calendars by voice vote and re-referred House Bill 17-25 back to the Education Committee after a motion from the floor. The committee adjourned after moving the consent calendar.
The House Calendar and Rules Committee advanced a short slate of bills and re-referred one measure to the Education Committee during a brief, procedural meeting.
The committee opened with a roll call; the Clerk confirmed a quorum and the Chair moved through the agenda largely by voice vote. For each listed item a motion and a second were recorded, the question was called and members voted aloud with no recorded roll-call tallies. The Chair repeatedly asked members to "please vote aye" when calling votes.
Bills advanced by voice vote included House Bill 1467 (Rep. Alexander), House Joint Resolution 877 (Chairman Clements), House Bill 1766 (Chairman Clemens), House Bill 2019 (Leader Cochran), House Bill 548 (Leader Cochran), House Bill 33 (Rep. Gillespie), House Bill 1715 (Chairman Hale), House Bill 1629 (Leader Lambreth), House Bill 1633 (Rep. Lambert) and House Bill 1663 (listed in the transcript as "House Bill 16 63," Rep. Mayberry). For each of these items the Chair noted a motion and second, the question was called and the measures were advanced by voice with no opposition announced.
During consideration of House Bill 17-25 (Rep. Mayberry), a speaker from the floor moved to return the bill to the Education Committee. That motion was seconded and the committee approved the re-referral; the Chair announced that House Bill 17-25 "will be re referred back to education full." The committee then moved the consent calendar to Monday following a motion and second and voted by voice to place the items on the consent calendar.
There were no recorded roll-call tallies for the voice votes and no formal recorded opposition noted in the transcript. The Chair called for adjournment after completing the calendar and the committee adjourned.
The committee did not discuss the substantive details of the bills on the record in this transcript; next steps for the advanced bills are placement on Monday's calendars and routine committee processing unless a sponsor or floor leader takes other action.
