Recorded...not recorded....
The House just adopted, without objection, a provision to require recorded votes on all second readings - unless they suspend the rules. That's a huge step from what they were originally going to do, which was requiring them on final passage (meaning that the bills that die don't get a record vote).
It seemed awfully easy. Too easy. Turns out, it was.
Reps didn't realize, after amendment and discussion, what they were voting on. They thought Rep. Juan Garcia, D-Corpus Christi, had whittled his original proposal down to just the final passage, with votes available on the internet within the hour. Everybody thought he'd cut out the second-passage provision.
So it's being reconsidered.
So they're going to actually read the amendment and vote again.
