Assembly outlines calendar, calls committees ahead of debate on rules reports

A member of the Assembly outlined the day’s main calendar on Monday, saying Rules report No. 8 by Miss Simon and Rules report No. 69 by Mister Bronson would be called for debate and announcing that several committees would meet before floor consideration. The member said Ways and Means and Rules would produce items for the calendar and that Agriculture, Election Law, Housing and Labor would also meet.

That same member moved to dispense with further reading of the journal for March 30; the Speaker announced the motion carried without objection. Later, a motion by Ms. Peebles Stokes to stand the House at ease until committee work was completed was called and the House was stood at ease.

The announcements directed members to convene in the Speaker’s Conference Room for committee meetings, specifically asking Ways and Means members to meet with Chair Petlow. No floor debate on the referenced rules reports was recorded in the transcript segments provided; the session paused for committee work after the procedural motions.
