The Government Operations Committee voted 10-0 on Feb. 10, 2025, to advance a consent calendar containing 49 bills to the full Calendar and Rules committee after a procedural motion and no recorded objections.
Representative Antonio Parkinson moved to give a positive recommendation for the consent calendar. The committee chair announced that a second had been received; the record does not identify who seconded the motion. "Mister chair, you have 10 ayes," the clerk said after the vote. Chair Lady Iris Rudder announced she was voting "aye" on behalf of Speaker Pro Tem Tim Marsh.
Committee members spent the bulk of the roughly one-hour meeting on introductions, housekeeping and staff introductions before addressing the consent calendar. No substantive debate over individual bills was recorded on the transcript; the chair said members had received procedural and policy announcements pertaining to the committee that morning.
Because no objections were recorded during committee consideration, the consent calendar will move forward to Calendar and Rules for further processing. The transcript does not record details about any of the 49 bills on the calendar, and no bill numbers or titles were read into the record during this meeting.
