MGTV is airing the first half hour of today’s House of Representatives session live. I’m going to try and live blog the proceedings if they bring up HB 4163. There is also a feed on the House of Representatives Website, so if it goes past 2:00, I’ll try to watch the webcast as well.
1:30 PM – The video feed is up, but the chambers still look pretty empty. The session was gaveled to order.
1:34 PM – Now members are starting to slowly file in for roll call.
1:51 PM – Still waiting on a quorom. Rules were just suspended for Rep. Rick Shaffer to introduce representatives from American Cancer Society who are in the chamber. Pretty much the entire gallery is filled with ACS folks
1:58 PM – Both parties have called members to caucus, so we may be waiting awhile.
2:40 PM – It looks like the Republicans are filing back into the chamber.
3:30 PM – Still waiting on the Democrats. All that’s happened in the last hour is a few recognitions of school groups in attendance.
3:31 PM – Speak of the devil. It looks like the Dems are filing back in.
3:40 PM – The House has been called back to order. They’re starting with some resolutions. I keep losing my connection to House TV….but I’ll do my best to keep updating on the days proceedings concerning HB 4163
4:21 PM – I think they ajourned for the day without calling the bill. The message on the voting board says “At Ease Call of the Chair”
4:56 – The House looks like it’s reconvening, but they’re introducing bills for first reading. I don’t know a whole lot about the process here, but I have a feeling HB 4163 won’t be called today. I’ll keep an ear open so keep checking back just in case I’m wrong.
4:58 – It’s official. The House is now adjourned. They will reconviene tomorrow at 1:30. I’ll try this again then.
