Rep. Kauffman asks unanimous consent to withdraw two House files; House adjourns until March 3

Representative Kauffman of Cedar asked the House to withdraw two pending House files, saying the measures were superseded by the passage of companion Senate bills.

“With the passage of Senate File 2096 and Senate File 2214, I ask unanimous consent to withdraw House File 2163 and House File 2228,” Representative Kauffman said.

The presiding chair asked if there were any objections. “Are there objections?” the chair asked; after hearing none the chair stated the request was granted. Representative Kauffman then moved that “if there’s no further business to come before the House, I move the House adjourn until Tuesday, March 3 at 08:30 a.m.”

The chair called for any other business, heard none, put the adjournment motion to a voice vote and declared, “The ayes do have it.” The chair then announced, “The House is adjourned.”

The actions taken in the brief proceeding were procedural: the withdrawal request was granted by unanimous consent and the House approved adjournment by voice vote. No debate or recorded roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript.
