Summary

Representative Kauffman (Cedar) moved that the House recess until the conclusion of both party caucuses.

“...and if there's no further business to come for the house, I move the house recess until the conclusion of both party caucuses,” Kauffman said. The Chair put the question: “All those in favor, say aye.” Members responded “Aye.” The Chair then asked, “Those opposed say no,” and announced, “The ayes do have it, and the House is recessed.” The record reflects a voice vote; the transcript does not provide a roll-call tally or named votes.

Earlier in the session a member announced that Democrats would caucus at 10:30 a.m. in Room 19. That scheduling announcement and the recess motion were offered as routine floor business and required no additional legislative action in the transcript.
