The Senate opened on Feb. 14 and the presiding officer announced withdrawals and re-referrals of three bills and called for the clerk to read committee reports recommending action on four bills. The chamber then received an announcement about a committee meeting and adjourned until Feb. 17.

The presiding officer announced that Senate Bill 119 was withdrawn from the Committee on Transportation and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means; Senate Bill 177 was withdrawn from the Committee on Local Government and Transparency and Ethics and referred to the Committee on Fed and State; and Senate Bill 229 was withdrawn from the Committee on Commerce and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. The clerk then read reports from standing committees.

During the clerk's report the Committee on Commerce recommended that Senate Bill 52 be amended and passed as amended; recommended that Senate Bill 199 be amended and passed as amended; and recommended that Senate Bill 117 be passed. The Committee on Judiciary recommended that Senate Bill 70 be amended and passed as amended. Those recommendations were presented as committee reports; the transcript records the clerk reading the committees' recommendations but does not show separate formal floor votes on those recommendations during this session.

An announcement followed that the Senate Committee on Commerce will meet in Room 144 S at 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 14. Later, Senator Tyson moved to adjourn the Senate until 2:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 17, 2025; the presiding officer called for a voice vote, said "Motion carried," and declared, "The senate is adjourned."

These actions — committee referrals and committee recommendations read into the record — change which committees will consider the three referred bills and record the committees' positions on the four bills noted by the clerk. The transcript does not record votes on the bills themselves on the floor during this session, nor does it provide vote counts for the adjournment motion beyond the presiding officer's announcement that the motion carried.
