What this means: The floor actions recorded in the transcript show a string of routine committee reports and confirmations advanced and adopted, largely by unanimous or lopsided margins. Several individual nominees were named on the floor during roll calls or committee reports; the transcript provides lists of nominees and brief biographical summaries presented by committee chairs.
Record and provenance: The clerk’s roll entries recorded the tallies above at the times noted. The transcript text names nominees being reported to the floor (for example, appointments to the Nebraska Rural Health Advisory Commission, State Board of Health, Nebraska Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Game and Parks Commission, Nebraska Tourism Commission, Nebraska Arts Council and others).
