Calendar and Rules committee approves calendars, suspends Thursday bill limit
Summary
The Calendar and Rules Committee approved the consent calendar with a handful of items removed for separate consideration, assigned dozens of House bills to Monday and Thursday calendars, and—without objection—suspended a 25‑bill limit for Thursday to allow more bills to be scheduled.
The Calendar and Rules Committee convened and moved through the consent and regular calendars, placing numerous House bills on upcoming Monday and Thursday calendars and handling several procedural motions.
"We are now ready to start, calendar and rules for this day," the presiding officer said as members prepared to take roll and begin consideration of the consent calendar. The clerk confirmed a quorum after reading names of representatives.
A motion to approve the consent calendar was made and seconded; several members voiced "aye" and the chair announced the consent calendar passed subject to objections raised to a small number of items. Committee members then processed the regular calendar item by item, repeatedly taking motions, seconds and voice votes to assign bills to the days the committee selected.
Later in the session, a member proposed suspending the committee's usual limit on the number of bills considered on Thursday. "Without objection, we're gonna suspend the 25 bill limit for Thursday," a committee member said, and the body allowed the suspension so additional bills could be scheduled.
The committee completed its work for the day and adjourned. The transcript does not include a meeting date in the record provided.
