Senate recesses to Rules Committee after voice vote
Summary
The Senate voted by voice to recess until the Rules and Administration Committee concluded its meeting. The motion was moved by the senator from Winneshiek, identified in the record as Senator Klemish, and the chair declared the motion prevailed after members voiced their ayes and nays.
Late in the March 5 session, the presiding officer recognized the senator from Winneshiek. The senator addressed the chamber: "Madam president, I move the senate recesses until the conclusion of the rules meeting." The presiding officer then asked members to vote; voices of 'Aye' and 'Nay' were recorded and the chair announced, "The motion prevails," recessing the Senate until the Rules and Administration Committee concluded.
The transcript records the motion language, the voice vote, and the chair's announcement that the motion carried. It does not record a roll-call or a numeric tally of votes in the captured segments; the record reflects a voice vote and the chair's ruling.
