Tennessee House Calendar and Rules advances dozens of bills to Monday calendars; HB 0427 returned to committee
Summary
The House Calendar and Rules Committee met and by voice vote placed a large number of House bills on Monday—onsent or regular calendars; it separately voted to send House Bill 0427 back to the State and Local full committee for further consideration.
Tennessee—ody: The Tennessee House Calendar and Rules Committee met in a routine session, placed dozens of House bills on Monday—alendars by unanimous voice approval, and voted to return House Bill 0427 to the State and Local full committee for additional work.
The meeting was led by Chair Lady Moody, who called the committee to order and handled the scheduling motions. A clerk read roll and confirmed a quorum. Early in the session a committee member welcomed the Tennessee Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, "We wanna welcome them to our committee today," an acknowledgement the chair accepted before the committee proceeded to business.
Most items were procedural: members moved and seconded motions to place bills on either Monday's consent or regular calendars and the chair called for the question. Examples recorded in the transcript include House Bill 1958, 1871, 2108, 2498, 2453, 2454, 1478, 2356, 1502, 1627, 1811, 2542, 2083, 2390, 1527, 1496, 2089, 0469, 1853, 2395, 1446, 2070, 2588, 1731, 1748, 2255, 1513, 1791 and 2194; each was moved, seconded and placed on either Monday's consent or regular calendar by voice vote with no recorded opposition. A small number of numeric tokens in the audio/transcript record were unclear (for example a segment read as "house bill 1 0 1 5 8" and another read as "110200"); where the record was ambiguous the committee still proceeded but the exact bill identifier in the transcript is not certain.
On one substantive scheduling action, Chairman Crawford moved that item 18, recorded as House Bill 0427 in the meeting record, be sent back to the State and Local full committee. The motion was seconded and the committee approved returning HB 0427 to that committee for further consideration rather than advancing it to the floor.
The committee concluded its routine work and adjourned after a final voice motion to adjourn.
Votes at a glance: The committee used voice votes throughout; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript. The bills listed above were placed on Monday—alendars (either consent or regular) as noted; HB 0427 was referred back to the State and Local full committee. If a precise bill identifier was unclear in the transcript, the record is noted as unclear rather than changed.
Why it matters: Calendar and Rules controls which bills reach the floor and when; moving a bill to the consent calendar generally expedites its consideration on the House floor, while returning a bill to a subject-matter committee delays immediate floor action and signals the need for more work or discussion.
What—omes next: Placement on Monday's consent or regular calendar makes floor consideration possible on the next floor day. House Bill 0427 will return to the State and Local full committee for further consideration according to the committee's action. The committee adjourned following these scheduling votes.
