The House adopted Senate Joint Resolution No. 3 at its opening session, appointing a committee to notify the governor that the legislature is in session.
Representative Joe Lovern, identified in the rules committee report as chairman, asked the House to suspend the rules so members could consider the time-sensitive measure. The Clerk read "Senate Joint Resolution Number 3," and Lovern moved adoption. The Speaker called for voice votes; with no recorded opposition, the resolution was adopted.
The action followed a rules committee report read on the floor that said the journal of the first legislative day had been examined and found correct, a statement signed in the record by Representative Joe Lovern as chairman of the committee. Earlier in the session the Clerk conducted roll call and the Speaker announced that 78 members answered the roll, establishing a quorum.
After adopting the resolution, the House passed down bills and resolutions for introduction and then recessed for committee meetings. Pro Tem Pringle moved that the House stand in recess and adjourn until Wednesday, May 6 at 9:00 a.m.; the motion passed by voice vote and the House recessed.
No recorded roll-call vote totals or individual vote tallies for the adoption of Senate Joint Resolution No. 3 were provided in the transcript; the record shows adoption by voice vote.
