Committee elects McClendon as secretary and adopts chair's rules
Summary
At a combined organizational and committee meeting the panel nominated Senator McClendon as secretary and adopted the chair's rules with a same-day reconsideration exception; both actions passed by voice vote.
The chair opened a combined organizational/committee session and the committee moved through organizational business, including the election of a committee secretary. A committee member nominated Senator McClendon for secretary: "Mister chairman, I'd like to nominate senator McClendon as secretary of the committee," the nominator said. The motion passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
The panel next considered adopting the chairman's rules. Senator Gray moved to adopt the rules with one modification: any motion to reconsider may be disposed of on the same day it is entered. The committee adopted the rule change after a voice vote; the chair confirmed a quorum was present before proceeding to the committee's legislative agenda.
