Sen. Klemish announces immediate party caucuses; Senate set at ease
Summary
The Senate convened and Sen. Klemish of Winneshiek announced that Republican and Democratic caucuses would meet immediately in Rooms 22 and 24; the chamber was set at ease to allow caucusing.
The Senate was called to order and the presiding officer recognized Sen. Klemish, the senator from Winneshiek. Sen. Klemish acknowledged the recognition and, addressing the chamber, said, "Madam president, Republicans will caucus immediately in Room 22."
Sen. Klemish then instructed that "The senate will be at ease for Republicans to caucus," effectively pausing floor business to allow the party meeting to occur. The presiding officer subsequently directed that the Democratic caucus meet immediately in Room 24 and reiterated the Republican caucus location.
No motions or votes were recorded in the transcript extract. The announcements were procedural: scheduling immediate party caucuses and setting the chamber at ease to permit those caucuses to convene.
