Committee motions and confirmations - The Committee of the Whole returned dozens of bills with due-pass recommendations (see committee report read into the journal). Committee chairs reported the Committee of the Whole recommendations for bills including HB 2257, HB 2391, HB 2438, HB 2448, HB 2451, HB 2570, HB 2576, HB 2607, HB 2657, HB 2667, HB 2693 (as amended), HB 2824 (as amended), HB 2927 (as amended) and others; the transcript lists those committee recommendations in the Committee of the Whole report. - The Senate confirmed several gubernatorial nominees reported by committee, including Gaetano John Testini to be Director of the Industrial Commission of Arizona and other appointments to the Game and Fish Commission and Livestock Board; the Senate advised and consented by voice vote as recorded.
What the transcript records and what it does not - The transcript records the committee recommendations, many floor motions to adopt committee amendments, and the outcomes. Several final roll counts are provided verbatim; for other items the clerk or presiding officer announced "Ayes have it" or similar voice outcomes without a numeric roll count in the floor record. - The transcript does not include full bill text or all amendment language for each measure; where vote tallies were announced those figures are reported here as given in the floor proceedings.
Next steps - Bills returned with due-pass recommendations will proceed through the remaining legislative steps required by the Senate and House rules (third reading, concurrence or conference committee as required). Confirmations were transmitted per routine Senate procedure.
