House Calendar and Rules Committee advances two bills to Appropriations calendar

The House Calendar and Rules Committee met and, after a roll call confirmed a quorum, advanced two measures to the Appropriations calendar.

The chair opened the meeting and asked the clerk to call the roll. The clerk read a list of representatives and reported a quorum, saying, “Madam Chair, you have a quorum.” The chair then said, “Members, we need to get right on this. We'll start with House Bill 2631,” and called for a voice vote. After the chair asked, “All in favor, say aye,” and heard no opposition, the chair announced HB 2631 was placed on Thursday’s Appropriations calendar.

The committee then took up House Bill 2630. The chair repeated the voice vote procedure—“All in favor, say aye; Any opposed?”—and, with no opposition heard, said HB 2630 was likewise placed on Thursday’s Appropriations calendar.

The chair then entertained a motion to adjourn and closed the meeting. There were no recorded roll-call votes, no named movers or seconders in the transcript, and no public comment was recorded during the segment.

The committee’s referral of both bills to the Appropriations calendar advances them to the next step in the House’s legislative process; the transcript records only the committee’s placement of the bills on that calendar, not further debate or committee amendments.
