House Convenes, Designates Speaker Pro Tempore, Approves Journal, and Introduces Legislation

The House of Representatives convened for a routine session, with the Speaker pro tempore, Mr. Smith of Nebraska, presiding. The session included the designation of the Speaker pro tempore, a prayer by the Chaplain, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the approval of the Journal. Several enrolled bills were signed, executive communications were referred, and new public bills and resolutions were introduced before the House adjourned until Friday, December 26, 2025.

This was a routine legislative day for the House, primarily focused on administrative duties and the introduction of new legislation. No substantive debates or votes on major measures occurred, and the actions taken were procedural or related to the ongoing legislative process, such as the signing of bills previously passed by both chambers.
