Announcements by the Clerk

The Clerk received the following dissent on House Bill Nos. 4121, 4740, 4821, 4866, 4622 and 4793, from Rep. Irwin:

I continue to object to the use of procedural tricks to subvert the Constitutional rights of citizens to know accurately the actions of the House of Representatives. Motions for immediate effect are routinely gaveled through without even a pretense of vote counting. This motion requires support from 2/3rds of the members and there is no genuine effort to ascertain the level of support for immediate effect. I object to this practice and I object to the erroneous assertions printed in the House Journal that suggest an authentic counting of votes occurred on the House floor.

______

Rep. Foster moved that the House adjourn.

The motion prevailed, the time being 3:00 p.m.

Associate Speaker Pro Tempore O’Brien declared the House adjourned until Wednesday, October 16, at 1:30 p.m.
