MESSAGES FROM THE SENATE

 

 

      The following message was received from the Senate:

 

 

Madam Speaker:

 

I hereby announce the adoption by the Senate of the following Senate Concurrent Resolution, herewith transmitted:

 

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 1, A Senate concurrent resolution relating to the adoption of temporary joint rules.

 

Thomas S. Bottern, Secretary of the Senate

 

 

      The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration.


Journal of the House - 2nd Day - Wednesday, January 4, 2023 - Top of Page 40

ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE SPEAKER

 

      In the interest of maintaining order and decorum in the House Chamber and providing an atmosphere of respect and courtesy for members who have the floor, and in accordance with House Rule 7.01, DUTIES AND PRIVILEGES OF THE SPEAKER, paragraph 2, "The Speaker must preserve order and decorum[,]" the following rules and policies will be enforced during the 2023-2024 legislative session:

 

      House Rule 2.20 DUTIES OF MEMBERS states: ''A member, before speaking, must rise and respectfully address the Speaker and must not speak further until recognized by the Speaker."

 

      House Rule 2.33 ORDER DURING SESSION states: "A member must not engage in private conversation while another member is speaking . . . ."

 

      Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure Section 110 Addressing Members or Presiding Officer paragraph 1 states: "All debate must be addressed to the presiding officer and not to the members."

 

      Mason's Manual Section 114 Asking Questions of Members paragraph 5 states: "A question should not be permitted that reflects upon the character or conduct of any member or upon the executive or other official.  A question as to what course a member proposes to follow is not in order.''

 

      Mason's Manual Section 120 Equality of Members in Debate states: "Every member has the same right as any other member to present questions for the consideration of the house and has the same right to be heard."

 

      It is not proper procedure to start a debate on a subject not before the body by asking a member to yield to a question.  Mason's Manual Section 100 There Must Be a Question Before the House to Permit Debate paragraph 2 states: "Debate must always have relation to some definite question that is under consideration by the body.  There must be a motion or a question proposed to the body by the presiding officer for the purpose of ascertaining the will of the body."

 

      Mason's Manual Section 121 Breaches of the Order of the House (Repetition in Debate) paragraph 3 states: "A member who resorts to persistent irrelevance or to persistent repetition after the attention of the house has been called to the matter may be directed to discontinue the speech by the presiding officer."

 

      Mason's Manual Section 124 Personalities Not Permitted in Debate (Questioning Motives) paragraph 1 states: "In debate a member must confine remarks to the question before the house, and avoid personalities."  Paragraph 3 states: "It is not the person but the measure that is the subject of debate, and it is not allowable to arraign the motives of a member, but the nature or consequences of a measure may be condemned in strong terms."

 

      There is no point of order unless a member cites the Rule, Joint Rule, or section of Mason's Manual being violated.  House Rule 5.04 AUTHORIZED MANUAL OF PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE states: "Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure governs the House in all applicable cases if it is not inconsistent with these Rules, the Joint Rules of the Senate and House of Representatives, or established custom and usage."

 

      "Points of Privilege" should not be used to make statements that definitely are not points of privilege.  Questions relating to members of the body in their representative capacity are called "Points of Personal Privilege" and should relate to charges against a member's rights, conduct, or character.  Questions relating to the entire body are called "Points of Privilege of the House" and should relate to charges against the membership of the entire body.  Political or congratulatory speeches should not be made under the guise of being a point of privilege.  Members should not use this procedure to create a debate on a subject not properly before the body.  The appropriate way to recognize events of achievement occurring within one's legislative district are by reserving a room in the State Capitol for a celebration, and inviting fellow members to that room for the celebration under the order of business ''Announcements."


Journal of the House - 2nd Day - Wednesday, January 4, 2023 - Top of Page 41

                House Rule 2.40 ADMITTANCE TO FLOOR provides that certain persons are admitted by Rule to the House Chamber, and other guests "may be issued a permit by the Speaker good for the day, but that person must be seated near the Speaker's rostrum, and must not engage in conversation that disturbs the business of the House."  It further provides that, "[f]rom one hour before the time the House is scheduled to convene until one hour after the House adjourns for the day, the retiring room is reserved for the exclusive use of the members and employees of the House."  This Rule will be enforced during the orders of business relating to consideration of legislation, such as "Calendar of the Day," "Fiscal Calendar," and "Conference Committee Reports."

 

      Alcohol is not to be consumed in the State Office Building in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

 

      Members and staff shall wear appropriate business attire while on the House floor.  Business casual is appropriate.

 

      Observing these rules and policies ensures proper and respectful debate as we conduct the people's business on the floor of the House.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

 

 

ADJOURNMENT

 

      Long moved that when the House adjourns today it adjourn until 10:00 a.m., Thursday, January 5, 2023.  The motion prevailed.

 

      Long moved that the House adjourn.  The motion prevailed, and the Speaker declared the House stands adjourned until 10:00 a.m., Thursday, January 5, 2023.

 

 

Patrick D. Murphy, Chief Clerk, House of Representatives
