Representative moves adjournment; House adjourns until March 12 at 9 a.m.
Summary
On the House floor a Representative moved to adjourn, briefly withdrew an initial motion to adjourn to March 14, then successfully moved that the House adjourn until March 12 at 9 a.m.; the Speaker declared the House adjourned.
A Representative moved on the House floor that the House stand adjourned. The Representative initially moved adjournment until Thursday, March 14 at 9 a.m., then withdrew that motion. The Representative subsequently moved that the House stand adjourned until Thursday, March 12 at 9 a.m.; the Speaker accepted the motion and declared the House adjourned until March 12 at 9 a.m.
Why it matters: floor adjournment sets the next convening date and affects scheduling for pending committee work and bill calendars.
The sequence began with a motion to adjourn to March 14, which was withdrawn after a brief clarification. The Representative then offered a substitute motion to adjourn to March 12 at 9 a.m.; the Speaker declared the House adjourned under that motion. The transcript records the motions and their withdrawal and acceptance but does not record a roll-call vote or identify a second for the motion.
Procedural outcome: the House was adjourned to the morning of March 12; the transcript provides no further floor business or votes after that point.
