The House opened its session with an invocation marking Black History Month and a call to public service, then adopted a measure honoring the observance by unanimous consent.
An invocation speaker urged lawmakers to "legislate with humility" and to remember the sacrifices and courage of earlier generations, concluding, "May wisdom guide this body. May justice shape our work." Shortly afterward the Presiding Officer stated that "House resolution 47 0 1 honoring Black History Month is adopted." The measure was adopted without objection; the transcript records adoption by consent and does not show a roll-call vote.
The adoption came early in the session as officials also approved the previous day's minutes "with the consent of the House." The action was handled as routine, by unanimous consent, and no recorded yeas or nays were provided in the record.
Members then moved into brief procedural business and recessed for party caucuses. The House recessed and later addressed committee referrals and calendar placement before adjourning for the day.
The Presiding Officer adjourned the House until 10:30 a.m. Thursday, February 26, a date recorded in the transcript as "the 40 sixth, legislative day."
