House passes consent calendar; clerk records 91 ayes
Summary
The Tennessee House moved and approved the consent calendar on third reading under rule 50; the clerk recorded 'Ayes 91, no nays.' Representative Shirley Moody moved passage and the motion carried without further objection.
The Tennessee House approved the consent calendar on third and final consideration after Representative Shirley Moody moved its passage under chamber rule 50. "I move passage of the consent calendar on 3rd and final consideration in keeping with rule 50," Moody said as she asked for its adoption.
After a period for members to seek recognition, the clerk announced the result: "Ayes 91, no nays." The presiding officer then declared the consent calendar passed. The vote recorded no recorded nays; co-sponsorship additions on select items (noted during the motion) were entered before the final voice vote.
The action cleared a package of measures that had been placed on the consent calendar for expedited consideration. Members had the opportunity to remove items for separate consideration during the recognition period but none were offered that changed the outcome.
