House approves consent calendar 89-0, introduces large block of House bills and sets committee hearings
Summary
The Tennessee House approved the consent calendar on third reading (89-0), a leader moved introduction of House bills roughly numbered 1,120–1,400 for first consideration, and clerks announced committee hearing schedules and a temporary recess.
The Tennessee House of Representatives approved its consent calendar on third and final consideration on Feb. 11, with the presiding officer announcing an 89–0 tally.
Chair Lady Moody moved the consent calendar under Rule 50, saying, “I move passage of the consent calendar on 3rd and final consideration in keeping with rule 50.” After the clerk called the vote, the presiding officer announced, “It's 89. No nays. Have received the constitutional majority,” and declared the consent calendar passed.
During the morning session, Leader Lambeth moved that a block of House bills—numbered approximately 1,120 through 1,400—be introduced and passed on first consideration. The presiding officer ordered the bills introduced without objection.
The clerk announced scheduling and procedural notices including finance and budget hearings set for Wednesday at 8:30 a.m., a rescheduled insurance committee meeting at 4:45 p.m., and that the Ag and Natural Resources Committee will hear Katie Evans of the National Waste Recycling Association. The House was recessed to reconvene at 8:30 a.m. on Feb. 12, 2025.
The actions taken clear a slate of routine matters and set the calendar for upcoming committee work, while moving a large number of bills forward on initial consideration.
