House recesses for party caucuses after members announce caucus times
Summary
Members announced party caucus times — Democrats at 4 p.m., Republicans at 4:30 p.m. — and Representative Kauffman moved to recess; the motion passed on voice vote and the House recessed.
Members announced internal party caucus times and locations before moving to recess for those meetings. Representative Meyer said, "House democrats will caucus in Room 19 at 4PM," while Representative Kauffman announced Republicans would caucus at 04:30 in Room 103.
After the announcements Representative Kauffman moved, "If there's no further business to come before the house, I move the house recess until the conclusion of both party caucuses." The presiding officer put the question, members responded, and the chair declared, "The ayes have it." The motion was carried by voice vote and the House recessed.
