Votes at a glance: Senate Appropriations committee advances a large package of budget and policy bills
Summary
The Senate Committee on Appropriations considered a long series of bills and amendments tied to the state budget and policy changes. Most bills were advanced, many unanimously or by voice consent; a number were placed on the committee’s consent calendar.

Committee members moved many bills to the consent calendar; several received recorded roll-call votes. The committee front-loaded no single bill as the dominant item for the agenda, instead advancing a large slate of appropriations and policy-related bills.
