House moves to table several senate bills during Friday session
Summary
House members moved to table multiple senate bills (senate bills 3104, 3105, 3091 and 3092) during voice votes after brief procedural confusion and retractions from some members; the motions carried by 'the ayes have it.'
Members on the floor moved to table several senate bills during the session, handling the motions by voice vote.
The presiding officer called Item number 8, "senate bill 3104," and a motion to table was made and approved: "If you favor the gentleman's motion to table indicate saying aye... The ayes have it." Subsequent calendar items included motions to table "senate bill 3105," where a member appeared to retract an earlier comment and the body clarified the calendar before proceeding. Later in the sequence, "senate bill 3091" and "senate bill 3092" were likewise moved to table and approved by voice vote.
The transcript records procedural handling by unanimous or voice vote language rather than roll-call tallies; where members asked for five minutes to oppose an action, the presiding officer noted the opportunity but no recorded roll-call opposition appears in the record. Several members briefly retracted mistaken motions while consulting the printed calendar before the body proceeded.
