House clerk relays committee assignment changes and calendar reminders
Summary
Clerk-read communications announced committee reassignments effective immediately and reminded members of filing deadlines and upcoming committees and caucus meetings; the House then agreed to adjourn and reconvene the next day at 11 a.m.
During morning hours on Jan. 16, 2026 the House of Delegates clerk read a letter from the Speaker announcing committee assignment changes and schedule items for members.
The clerk read that "Delegate Gardner is removed from the Committee on County, Cities and Towns and appointed to the Committee on Public Safety," and that "Delegate Mundon King has been removed from the Committee on Public Safety and appointed to the Committee on County, Cities and Towns." The communication also noted three new members are expected to be sworn in Monday and that a special election is scheduled next week (no further details specified in the transcript).
The clerk reminded members that budget amendments must be filed with House Appropriations staff by 5:00 p.m. and listed committee meetings and caucus times for Monday, including the Committee on Education at 8:00 a.m. and the Committee on Communications, Technology and Innovation at 10:00 a.m. Members were asked to remain briefly at the session's end for additional information.
After the announcements, Delegate Herring moved that the House adjourn to reconvene tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.; members approved the motion by voice vote and the House adjourned for the day.
Details about the incoming members and the special election were not specified in the clerk's announcement and therefore are reported here as "not specified."
