House Concurrent Resolution 52 approved 11-0 by Special Committee on Tourism
Summary
The Special Committee on Tourism voted 11-0 to give House Concurrent Resolution 52 a 'do pass' recommendation. The resolution, tied to America's 250th celebration, will move forward after the committee's unanimous vote; the chair noted consent rules requiring 100% support.
Chairman Seitz moved that House Concurrent Resolution 52 be "voted due pass," and the Special Committee on Tourism approved the resolution by a recorded tally of 11 ayes and 0 nos. The vote took place during an executive session called at the start of the committee's meeting; the chair opened the motion and the clerk conducted a roll call before the result was announced.
The chair said HCR 52 deals with the state's role in America's 250th celebration and explained procedural constraints for placing bills on the consent calendar: consent requires unanimous committee approval to continue on the consent calendar and bars amendments on the House floor. A committee member noted a recent ruling that an HCR cannot go to consent, so the committee proceeded to a vote instead.
The chair announced the result: "By your vote of 11 ayes and 0 nos, you have voted House Concurrent Resolution 52 do pass." The transcript does not provide individual recorded votes tied to named members in the roll call beyond the clerk calling names and members responding 'Aye.' The committee then closed the executive session and moved to a public hearing on other business.
What happens next: the committee's do-pass recommendation advances the resolution to subsequent legislative steps; the transcript does not record any floor action or final disposition beyond the committee vote.
