Although House Republicans reformed the process of picking a Speaker-to-be in 2016, there really isn't a timeline for when that process is supposed to begin. It just can't start until after members of a class go through one Session together. The 2021 Session is set to end in three weeks. After that, any member of the class can request a meeting of the caucus. Were that meeting to occur on June 30 (the Caucus rules say that day is the earliest a vote can take place), Garrison will likely be selected by his colleagues to, at one point, serve in the second most powerful position in state government.
