The House Communications and Technology Committee voted to adopt committee rules and set a regular meeting time at its organizational session after Speaker Matt Hall read his appointment letter into the record.
Matt Hall, speaker of the House, read a letter appointing members to the House Communications and Technology Committee, including Representative Jamie Green as chair and Helena Scott as minority vice chair. "Dear mister clerk, I appoint the following members of the hundred and third legislature to the following standing committees," Hall read, listing the committee roster.
The committee convened with a quorum present. The clerk noted, "Madam chair, you have a quorum." Representative Jamie Green, chair, offered a proposed rule referencing the committee’s adherence to the uniform committee rules stated in chapter 4 of the House rules. A member identified in the transcript as "Representative [redacted]" moved to adopt the proposed rule; the motion prevailed after a roll call vote called by the clerk.
Representative Helena Scott moved to designate Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. in Room 327 of the House Office Building as the committee's normal meeting day, time and location. The clerk reported nine affirmative votes and the motion prevailed. Later in the meeting Scott moved to excuse absent members; there being no objection, the motion prevailed by unanimous consent and the committee adjourned.
The actions taken were procedural and organizational: formalizing committee rules, setting a standing meeting schedule and excusing absences. The record does not show debate on substantive policy matters; the session consisted of the speaker's appointment letter, roll call, and procedural votes.
