Iowa House recesses for party caucuses after brief morning business
Summary
After a few routine announcements, Representative Kaufman moved that the House recess until both party caucuses conclude; a voice vote carried and the House recessed. Democrats will caucus at 9:15 a.m. in Room 19; Republicans at 9:00 a.m. in Room 103.
The Iowa House recessed March 31 following announcements of party caucus times and a motion to recess.
Representative Mark (Polk) announced that Democrats would caucus at 9:15 a.m. in Room 19. Representative Kaufman (Cedar) then announced that Republicans would caucus at 9:00 a.m. in Room 103 and said, "And if there's no further business to come before the House, I move the House recess until the conclusion of both party caucuses." The Chair called for a voice vote; the ayes prevailed and the House recessed.
The motion was made on the floor and decided by voice vote; the transcript records the outcome as the ayes prevailing but does not provide a numerical roll-call tally. The recess was procedural and scheduled members for party caucuses rather than taking substantive legislative action.
