House recesses for party caucuses after members announce caucus times
Summary
Members announced party caucus times—Democrats at 9 a.m. in Room 19 and Republicans immediately in Room 103—then Representative Kauffman moved to recess and the House recessed after a voice vote.
Leaders and members used routine announcements to schedule party caucuses before adjourning for the morning. After the Speaker recognized Representative Meyer (from Pope), Meyer told the chamber that Democrats would caucus at 9 a.m. in Room 19. Shortly afterward, Representative Kauffman (Cedar) announced that Republicans would caucus immediately in Room 103 and moved that "the House recess to the conclusion of both party caucuses."
The motion was decided by voice vote. The Speaker called for ayes and noes, declared "the ayes do have it," and recessed the House. No recorded roll-call tally was provided in the transcript; the action was carried out as a routine procedural recess.
