Sen. Klemish moves to adjourn Senate until April 27; motion prevails on voice vote
Summary
Sen. Klemish asked the Senate to adjourn until Monday, April 27 at 1:00 p.m.; the chamber approved the motion by voice vote after routine opening business, including a prayer by Sen. Shipley and approval of the journal.
The Senate adjourned until Monday, April 27 at 1:00 p.m. after approving a motion to adjourn on a voice vote.
Sen. Klemish, the senator from Wenatchee, asked the presiding officer, "Madam president, will the senate adjourn until Monday, April 27 at 1PM?" The presiding officer called for those in favor to say "aye;" an "aye" was heard and no "nay" was recorded on the transcript. The presiding officer then announced, "The motion prevails," and declared the Senate adjourned.
The brief session opened with a prayer offered by Sen. Shipley, identified in the record as the senator from Adams. The presiding officer asked for corrections to the journal; hearing none, the journal was approved as printed. No senators were excused, and no points of personal privilege or additional announcements were made before the adjournment motion.
The adjournment was handled as routine chamber business: a recognition of a senator for the floor, a motion to adjourn, and a voice vote. Exact roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript; the motion outcome was announced by the presiding officer.
