House advances consent calendar, several joint resolutions objected
Summary
The House advanced its consent calendar on final consideration; several House Joint Resolutions were objected to by committee chairs and the clerk reported the consent calendar passed by a constitutional majority.
Leadership moved passage of the consent calendar for third and final consideration and listed specific items objected to by committee chairs. The clerk announced that objections were recorded on several House joint resolutions and then took the voice/roll vote; the clerk reported the consent calendar passed and the presiding officer said he had received a constitutional majority to declare it passed.
The session record listed multiple objected items by identifier and names of objecting chairs; members were asked if anyone sought recognition on the consent calendar and, seeing none, the body proceeded to vote. The clerk's tally and the presiding officer's declaration concluded the consent calendar action.
