Summary
The Mississippi House adopted conference reports creating memorial highways and bridges (House Bill 342, 128–0; Senate Bill 2643, 119–0), the Appropriations Committee reported conference reports ready for signatures, and the House adjourned until Sunday at 2:00 p.m.
The Mississippi House of Representatives adopted conference reports that add county‑sponsored memorial highways and bridges to state law and handled routine scheduling matters.
On the conference general bills calendar, the House moved and adopted the conference report for House Bill 342, a package of four county memorial highway resolutions, by a recorded vote of 128–0. A member asked whether the honoree must be deceased; the presenter confirmed the requirement.
The House then considered the Senate conference report for Senate Bill 2643, described as a package of 12 memorial highways or bridges; with no questions the report was adopted by a recorded vote of 119–0.
The Appropriations Committee announced that the majority of appropriations conference reports were prepared and ready to be signed by conferees, and asked conferees to meet at 10:00 a.m. in room 201A. Members were told the House will reconvene at 2:00 p.m. Sunday to begin taking up conference reports on appropriations.
A motion that the House stand adjourned until 2:00 p.m. Sunday — with the journal to remain open until the last conference report is filed — carried with no recorded opposition.
