Representative Thompson moves recess; members introduce student and Best Buddies ambassador
Summary
Representative Thompson moved that the House recess until 3:30 p.m.; members used remaining time to introduce guests including 8th grader Dean Robinson and Best Buddies ambassador Tyler Steinke before the voice vote recessed the chamber.
Representative Thompson asked to be recognized for an announcement and told the chamber there would be an Ash Wednesday service on Wednesday at 8:00 a.m. in Senate Chambers, Room 22. Later Thompson moved that the House recess until 3:30 p.m.: "Mister chairman, if there's no further business to come before the house, I move the house recess until 03:30PM." The Speaker called for any other business and, after a brief period in which members introduced guests, took a voice vote. The Speaker declared "the ayes do have it," and the House recessed.
During the interval before the recess vote, Representative Andrews introduced Dean Robinson, an eighth grader at Ankeny Christian and the son of her clerk, and Representative Bosman introduced Tyler Steinke, a Best Buddies of Iowa ambassador and former legislative page and doorkeeper. Those introductions were ceremonial and no floor actions were tied to them.
