Calendar and Rules committee approves consent calendar, sets schedules for dozens of bills
Summary
The Calendar and Rules committee convened, confirmed a quorum, passed a consent calendar with several items bumped to regular calendars, and scheduled a long series of House bills across Monday–Thursday, including suspending a 25-bill Monday limit.
The Calendar and Rules committee met with Chair Lady Moody presiding and the clerk reading the roll, after which the committee confirmed a quorum and moved through a large consent and regular calendar.
At the outset Chair Lady Moody asked members to log in and prepare for votes: "Members of calendar and rules, if you'll be sure you are logged in so we can turn your microphone on if we need to," she said. The clerk then read the roll and confirmed a quorum. The committee voted by voice to pass the Monday consent calendar after Representative (Leader) Zachary moved to bump item 6 from the consent calendar.
Committee members then placed dozens of bills on weekday calendars, routinely deciding placement by unanimous voice vote. Several items were explicitly bumped from the consent calendar to the regular calendar; members handled routine rolls and sponsor requests to move bills onto final calendars during the session. The committee adjourned after brief closing remarks and seasonal well-wishes from leadership.
