House passes consent calendar; members move to withdraw numerous bills from committee
Summary
The Tennessee House passed the consent calendar by voice vote (90 ayes, no nays) and members filed a sequence of motions withdrawing multiple house bills from committee; the clerk also reminded members the bill-filing deadline was 4:30 p.m.
The Tennessee House moved and passed the consent calendar on third and final consideration. Chair Lady Moody moved for passage on final consideration under Rule 50; the clerk recorded the voice vote as 90 in favor and no nays, and the speaker declared the consent calendar adopted.
Following the consent calendar, members proceeded with unfinished business and made multiple motions to withdraw specific house bills from committee and from the House. Several motions were agreed to without objection; some were recorded with objection. Examples recorded on the floor included motions to withdraw House Bills 419, 903, 815, 31070, 877, 837, 367, 107, 451, 844, 467, 287, 289, 709, 710 and house joint resolution 65, among others.
