House orders House File 2583 sent to Senate; Representative Kaufman moves adjournment until April 1
The Speaker called the House to order and recognized Representative Kaufman, who asked the chamber to "please immediately message the following bill to the senate, house file 2 5 8 3." The Speaker asked, "Are there objections?" and, after hearing none, ordered the bill to be messaged to the Senate by unanimous consent.

Representative Kaufman told members, "Ladies and gentlemen of the house, that will conclude floor action for the day," and moved, "I move that we adjourn until Wednesday, April 1 at 08:30AM." The Speaker asked if there was any other business; hearing none, the Speaker put the motion, called for those in favor to say "aye," and, after the audible response, declared, "The house is adjourned."

Why it matters: Messaging a bill transmits it to the Senate for consideration; the transcript records that House File 2583 was ordered sent without recorded objection on the floor. The adjournment fixes the next legislative convening time, setting the chamber to reconvene Wednesday, April 1 at 8:30 a.m.

What remains unrecorded: The transcript does not identify a mover or seconder for the bill-message step beyond Representative Kaufman’s request, and it contains no roll-call vote or named vote tallies for either the messaging action or the adjournment (the proceedings use unanimous-consent and an oral "aye").
