House recesses so lawmakers can meet party caucuses
Summary
The Iowa House recessed after a voice vote on a motion to allow both the Democratic and Republican caucuses to meet; caucus locations and times were announced before the motion.
The Iowa House of Representatives recessed after a voice vote on a motion to allow both party caucuses to meet.
Representative Kauffman moved that "I move the house recess until the conclusion of both party caucuses." The presiding officer called for a voice vote, said "The ayes appear to have it," and declared the House recessed. The motion was taken by voice; a roll-call tally was not recorded in the transcript.
Earlier in the morning Representative DeMeyer announced that Democrats would caucus at 10 a.m. in Room 19, and Representative Kauffman announced that Republicans would caucus at 10 a.m. in War Room 103. The recess followed those announcements and was framed as a procedural pause to allow both parties to hold internal meetings.
