So, the House refused to table the motion to recall H. 3772 from the Judiciary Committee.

The question then recurred to the motion to recall H. 3772 from the Judiciary Committee.

Rep. H. BROWN moved that the House do now adjourn.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. WRIGHT raised the Point of Order that fifteen minutes had not elapsed since a similar motion was made, which point was sustained by the Chair.

Rep. HUFF moved that the House recede for fifteen minutes.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. SHEHEEN raised the Point of Order that the motion to recede was out of order under Rule 8.12 which states that a motion to adjourn, or to take a recess, having been negatived, no new motion to adjourn or take a recess shall be in order until fifteen minutes shall have elapsed.


Printed Page 2762 . . . . . Wednesday, April 26, 1995

Rep. HASKINS stated, citing Rule 8.12, that the Rule did not say that you could not move to recede until fifteen minutes had elapsed from a motion to adjourn. He further stated that the reasonable way to refer to the rule would be when the former motion referred to the same motion.

Rep. WALKER stated that there were former rulings where this rule applied to the motions individually and not in combination.

The SPEAKER stated that he had interpreted it to be separate motions and each category was treated separately for purposes of the fifteen minute rule and he overruled the Point of Order.

Rep. HUFF moved that the House do now adjourn.

Rep. SCOTT demanded the yeas and nays, which were taken resulting as follows:

POINTS OF ORDER AND PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

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.


Printed Page 2764 . . . . . Wednesday, April 26, 1995

Rep. SHEHEEN stated that it was his impression that the clock did not run during Points of Order during timed periods.

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.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE

The SPEAKER granted Rep. NEILSON a leave of absence for the remainder of the day to attend a special church service in Darlington.

RECURRENCE TO THE MORNING HOUR

Rep. SHEHEEN moved that the House recur to the morning hour, which was agreed to by a division vote of 50 to 49.

Rep. HASKINS moved that the House do now adjourn.

Rep. SCOTT demanded the yeas and nays, which were taken resulting as follows:
