House opens session, approves journal and posts committee schedules
Summary
The Speaker called the House to order, Chaplain Tom Doherty delivered the invocation, members approved the House Journal of the third legislative day (moved by Scogg, seconded by Gannon), and the Clerk read committee meeting schedules and notices for Jan. 15–16.
The House convened and the presiding officer called the chamber to order. Chaplain Tom Doherty delivered the invocation and members stood for the Pledge of Allegiance led by Caitlin Clark of Garden Valley High School.
The House approved the House Journal of the third legislative day after a motion "to approve the House Journal of the third legislative day and recommend the same be adopted as corrected," which was moved by Scogg and seconded by Gannon. The Speaker called for a voice vote and members responded in the affirmative; no opposition was recorded in the provided transcript.
The Clerk read a series of committee schedules and notices. Among the items announced: the House Business Committee is scheduled to meet Thursday, Jan. 15 at 1:30 p.m. in Room EW 41, and several other committees were listed as meeting or not meeting on Jan. 15–16, with chair names announced for each listing. A member announced that single-scoop ice cream was available in the backroom courtesy of the Idaho Farm Bureau Foundation.
Attendance was reported at 69 present and 1 absent; the transcript notes Miller as not present. The Speaker advanced the House to announcements and later recognized a motion to adjourn; the motion was seconded and called non-debatable, but the transcript ends as the Speaker asked for the ayes and does not record the final outcome.
The session’s actions were procedural: approving the journal and setting or confirming near-term committee meetings. No substantive policy debate or votes on bills appeared in the provided segments.
