The House handled routine legislative business and ceremonial recognitions in a short session that concluded with an adjournment to Saturday, Feb. 28.
By unanimous consent the presiding officer adopted a series of honorary resolutions recognizing individuals and groups, including House Resolution 46 93 honoring Natalie Naomi Phelps; House Resolution 46 94 honoring Navy personnel; House Resolution 46 97 honoring Dr. Bernal Baca; House Resolution 46 98 honoring the Iranian‑American community in Washington; and House Resolution 4,700 honoring Billy Frank Jr. After each resolution was announced on the floor the speaker said, "Hearing no objection, so ordered," and the Clerk recorded the adoptions.
The House also received several messages from the Senate. "Madam speaker, the senate has passed second and engrossed substitute house bill …" the clerk read, and later relayed additional senate messages reporting passage of items the Senate had acted on; the messages were acknowledged as received. The clerk identified himself on the floor as Colin Pahar, deputy secretary, when reading one of the messages.
Under the eighth order of business the rules committee was relieved of several bills and those bills were placed on the second‑reading calendar. The clerk read bill captions that included "House bill 27 11, transportation resources" and "Senate bill 62 78, teacher and principal programs," and the House moved the listed bills to second reading by consent.
Committee reports under the fifth order also were referred to the committees designated on the report list, again "with the consent of the house." Finally, by unanimous consent the House agreed to adjourn and reconvene at 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 28; the presiding officer closed the session.
No roll‑call votes or contested motions were recorded in the transcript provided; the business reflected routine floor procedure and ceremonial recognitions handled by unanimous consent.
