be in order until fifteen minutes shall have elapsed.

So, the House refused to adjourn.
Rep. HASKINS raised the Point of Order that time had expired in the motion period.
Rep. SHEHEEN inquired about the time remaining when Rep. Scott's motion to recall H. 3772 was made and he raised the Point of Order that time had not expired as the clock should not have been running during the Points of Order raised during the motion period.
The SPEAKER stated that Rule 6.3, paragraph 14 (d), stated that the motion period provided for the daily order of business under Rule 6.3 shall be limited to ten minutes only and provided, that time consumed by roll call votes shall not be construed as part of time allotted to said motions. He further stated that the clock did not run during roll call votes during the motion period and that there was not a rule that stated that the clock had to stop during the Points of Order.
Rep. SHEHEEN stated that if the ruling was that on Points of Order, that the clock for the motion period could be consumed, then the Body's right to go into the motion period could be defeated everyday by raising a Point of Order and using the ten minutes.
The SPEAKER stated that if that were the case, then it could be done during
the thirty minute uncontested calendar, too.
Rep. HASKINS stated that the Rule should govern the House and it did not provide for stopping the clock during a Point of Order.
The SPEAKER stated that historically the clock had not been stopped during Points of Order during the uncontested period or the motion period.
Rep. SHEHEEN questioned about the clock stopping for Points of Order during the unanimous consent request period.
The SPEAKER stated that there had not been a Point of Order during the unanimous consent request period that he could recall. He further stated that he did not find under Rule 6.3 any requirement that the clock was required to be stopped during Points of Order during the motion period. He further stated that it was stopped during the roll call votes during the motion period and that time had expired and he sustained the Point of Order that the motion period had expired.
Further proceedings were interrupted by expiration of the Motion Period, the pending question being the motion to recall H. 3772 from the Judiciary Committee.
The SPEAKER granted Rep. NEILSON a leave of absence for the remainder of the day to attend a special church service in Darlington.
