Representative Kauffman moves recess for party caucuses; motion passes by voice vote
Summary
After announcing party caucus times, Representative Kauffman moved to recess the House until both parties conclude their caucuses; the motion passed by voice vote and the chamber was recessed.
Toward the end of the short session, members announced party caucus plans: House Democrats were told they would caucus immediately upon recess and Republicans announced a caucus at 11:15 a.m. in Room 103. Representative Kauffman moved that the House recess until the conclusion of both party caucuses; the chamber approved the motion by voice vote and the presiding officer recessed the House.
"Mister speaker, Republicans will caucus at 11:15 in Room 103. And if there's no business no further business to come before the house, I move the house recess until the conclusion of both party caucuses," Representative Kauffman said. The presiding officer called for ayes and noes, announced that "the ayes do have it," and recessed the chamber. No roll-call tallies were recorded on the motion in the transcript.
