A representative moved to refer House Joint Resolution 8 to the resolutions committee. The Speaker put the question for a roll-call vote and the Clerk announced the tally as recorded in the transcript: "I, 6 6, 19 ayes." The Speaker then directed that HJR 8 be referred to the resolutions committee.

The motion followed a brief procedural exchange about objections and the process for referring substantive resolutions to committee during an extraordinary session. The Clerk noted that congratulatory items may be acted upon in extraordinary session, while substantive resolutions are referred to committee and must fit the governor's call.
