The Chair had no idea what the Resolution was and it was...and I assigned it to the Committee On Assignments, which was in error. Now knowing that House Joint Resolution 118 should have been assigned to the Speaker's table. So, the Chair will correct its error and assign that to the Speaker's table. It has not been printed, and your Motion is not in order. Representative Matijevich now moves that the House stands adjourned until Tuesday, at the hour of 12:00 noon, allowing perfunctory time for the Clerk. All in favor of the Motion say 'aye', opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it, and the House stands adjourned until Tuesday at the hour of 12:00 noon."
