Floor leader Flora moved to adopt Youth Congress Journal 20-01; the motion was seconded. After a voice vote the presiding officer said, “Motion carries. Youth congress journal 20 dash 01 is hereby adopted.” The transcript records no roll-call tally.

At the close of business the floor leader moved to adjourn “subject to the call of the chair.” The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. The presiding officer closed the session with the words, “The ayes have it in the session of the 20 seat May hereby adjourn.”

Both actions were procedural votes taken during the session; no committee hearings or substantive policy votes were recorded.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2506921 20th Youth Congress Session 10:00 a.m.","oneSentenceSummary","During the session the Youth Congress adopted its organizational journal and later voted to adjourn.

Flora said the bill would honor “both the official languages and cultures of our commonwealth and for other purposes,” and invited cosponsors when she delivered the measure to the chamber. The bill was formally referred to the Committee on Education, a chamber announcement shows.

“Of course, we have the 2, our 2 native languages and to honor our flag,” Flora said when introducing the measure. She later told the chamber that the Committee on Education would move the bill forward quickly and hold meetings with stakeholders: “expect the committee meeting very, very soon and meetings with stakeholders.”

No formal committee hearing date was announced on the record, and the Youth Congress did not vote on the bill during the session. The floor leader stated only that the measure had been introduced and referred to committee; she welcomed additional cosponsors.

Next steps for Bill 20-1 are a Committee on Education referral process and stakeholder consultations; the committee will set a hearing or meeting date to consider the measure.","Floor leader Flora introduced Youth Congress Bill 20-1 to establish the Prinimete and Akapa as the official pledge of allegiance to the CNMI flag; the measure was referred to the Committee on Education and committee leaders said they will schedule stakeholder meetings soon.","actionData","errors"]
