Senate recesses until State Government Committee ends; Republicans to caucus afterward
Summary
Senator Clemish moved that Senate Republicans caucus after the State Government Committee, and the Senate recessed on a voice vote until the committee concluded.
Near the close of the floor period Senator Clemish stated, 'Madam president, senate republicans will caucus upon the conclusion of the state government committee.' The presiding officer then called for a motion to recess 'until conclusion of the state government committee.' Senators responded with a voice vote; the chair said 'The motion prevails' and the Senate recessed.
The action was procedural and recorded as a voice vote; the transcript records the chair calling for 'aye' and 'nay' responses but does not provide a roll-call tally. No amendments or additional floor business was conducted prior to the recess.
