Assembly waives journal reading, schedules committees and calendars, then recesses
Summary
During the May 13 floor session, Mister Fall moved to dispense with reading the journal (approved without objection), the Speaker announced Ways and Means and Rules would meet to produce A and B calendars, and the House was placed at ease by motion.
Mister Fall moved that the House dispense with further reading of the journal for Wednesday, May 13 and that "the same stand approved." The presiding officer declared the motion approved "without objection."
Following that action, Mister Fall outlined the day's floor plan: members had a main calendar and a debate list; Ways and Means and Rules committees were called to meet in the Speaker's Conference Room and will produce A and B calendars to be taken up that day. He specifically noted that "calendar number 192 on page 20 by Miss Barrett" would be taken on consent and previewed debate-list items including "calendar number 271 on page 25 by Miss Kellis and calendar 24 on page 6 by Miss Cruz." He also told members that "there will be a need for conference after we conclude our work on the floor."
Near the end of the recorded excerpt, Mister Fall asked that the House be placed at ease; the presiding officer announced, "Mister Fall's motion, the house stands at ease," indicating a brief recess.
No formal roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript excerpt on the previewed calendars; the session proceeded to introductions and a short recess.
