Senate dispenses readings and votes to recess until committee reports are filed
Summary
Senator Harkins moved to dispense with routine readings and later moved that the Senate stand in recess until the last committee report is filed or 5:00 p.m.; the motions were approved without recorded roll-call tallies on the record.
Senator Harkins moved multiple procedural motions: to dispense with the reading of the journal, to dispense with committee reports, and to dispense with the reading of the titles of bills and resolutions. Each motion was approved by voice vote; the presiding officer declared 'The ayes have it.'
Later in the session Senator Harkins moved that the Senate stand in recess until the last committee report is filed or 5:00 p.m., at which point the journal will record adjournment until 10:00 a.m. Wednesday. After the customary voice vote the presiding officer announced the motion had carried and the Senate recessed.
The session included no recorded roll-call tallies for these procedural actions and no substantive floor debates or votes on bills were recorded in the transcript provided. The session also included recognition of guests such as the Mississippi Board of Nursing in the gallery and introduction of the doctor's day, Dr. Justin Turner of the University of Mississippi's Cancer Center and Research Institute.
