Committee of the Whole recesses after governor calls special session
Summary
The Committee of the Whole recessed until 9 a.m. tomorrow after the chair said the governor had called a special session; the speaker is expected to take the gavel at 3 p.m. The transcript did not specify the subject of the special session.
The Committee of the Whole recessed until 9 a.m. tomorrow after the chair announced the legislature had been called into a special session by the governor, the chair said.
The chair told colleagues they had received a letter from the governor calling a special session and said the meeting must recess to allow that session to proceed. "So we will be in recess until 9 a.m. tomorrow," the chair said, adding that the speaker would take the gavel at 3 p.m. to address the governor's call.
The transcript does not state what business the governor had asked the legislature to consider. Committee members briefly confirmed the procedure: one member asked, "Correct, speaker?" and the chair reiterated the recess and the schedule.
No formal motions or votes are recorded in the transcript excerpt. The committee is scheduled to reconvene at 9 a.m. the following day, with the speaker presiding starting at 3 p.m. according to the chair's announcement.
