House establishes quorum, refers introductory bills and re-references Senate Bill 6132, then adjourns

The state House convened on Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, confirmed a quorum and promptly approved procedural actions to advance bills to committees before adjourning until 9:55 a.m. the same day.

Clerk called the roll and announced attendance; a member reported, 'Mister speaker, a quorum is present.' The presiding officer accepted the minutes of the preceding day by unanimous consent, recording 'Hearing no objection, so ordered.'

The speaker recognized several guests, saying the chamber welcomed Roger Jacob and students and faculty from the Wapato School District who were honored in "house resolution 46 79," and the fourth grade class from Log Church Christian School in Brewster. Pastor Kayla Garza of Stone Church in Yakima offered the opening prayer, asking for wisdom and integrity for members as they conducted business.

With the consent of the House, members agreed to consider the bills, memorials and resolutions printed on the day's introduction sheet as first reading under the fourth order of business and to refer those measures to the committees so designated. The presiding officer announced the action with the statement, 'Hearing no objection, so ordered.'

The House also agreed, by the presiding officer's announcement, to re-refer Senate Bill 6132 from the Transportation Committee to the Rules Committee. No roll-call vote or recorded dissent was indicated in the transcript for either referral; both actions were taken by unanimous consent.

Before adjourning, Representative Ortiz-Self announced that Democrats would caucus immediately and the presiding officer said Republicans would caucus in five minutes. The House then agreed to adjourn until 9:55 a.m. Friday, Feb. 27; the presiding officer recorded 'Hearing no objection, so ordered.'

Procedural items such as the first-reading referrals and the re-referral of SB 6132 move measures into committee consideration but do not change policy on their merits. No votes on underlying bills were recorded in the session's transcript.
