The House of Representatives approved the minutes of the preceding day by unanimous consent, ordered bills, memorials and resolutions on the day’s introduction sheet to first reading and referral, and then adjourned until 9:55 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20, the presiding officer said.
Those actions were taken without recorded roll-call votes and without debate. The presiding officer used unanimous-consent procedure, saying, “Hearing no objections, so ordered,” when approving the minutes and again when directing that the measures on the introduction sheet be considered first reading and referred to the committees listed on that sheet.
The House did not read bill numbers or summarize the measures during the recorded remarks. The session record shows the items were placed on first reading under the chamber’s fourth order of business and “referred to the committees so designated,” but it does not identify committee names or measure identifiers.
Following those procedural steps, the presiding officer announced the House would adjourn until 9:55 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20. No floor debate, amendments, roll-call votes or public testimony on the referred measures are recorded in the text provided.
