Senate adopts two standing committee reports, refers two gubernatorial nominations
Summary
The Senate adopted standing committee reports 3100 and 3101 by unanimous consent and referred Governor's message numbers 769 and 770—nominations to the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts—to the appropriate referral process; motions were made by Senator Wakai and seconded by Senator DeCourt.
The Senate adopted standing committee reports numbers 3100 and 3101 on a motion from Senator Wakai that was seconded by Senator DeCourt; the presiding officer declared the motion carried after no member objected.
The adoption was made by voice and no roll-call tally was recorded on the floor. The clerk noted that referrals and re-referrals for the day's business would be made in accordance with any supplemental orders of the day that might be filed later.
Earlier in the session, the presiding officer announced Governor's message numbers 769 and 770, which transmit nominations to the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts; those messages were referred in accordance with the order of the day. The messages were identified by number only; the transcript does not specify the nominees' names or positions beyond the referral.
Senator Wakai initiated the motion to adopt the committee reports and Senator DeCourt seconded it. The presiding officer summarized the outcome: "If not, the motion is carried," and then stated the motion carried when no objections were raised. The record shows the procedural outcome but does not include a recorded roll-call vote or statements of opposition.
Next steps: the referred gubernatorial messages will proceed through the established committee referral and confirmation process; the adopted standing committee reports will be reflected in the Senate's journal as adopted for the day.
