Votes at a glance: Executive actions and roll calls from Senate Finance and Claims (session)
Summary
During the same meeting the Senate Finance and Claims Committee took executive action on multiple bills. This roundup lists committee outcomes recorded in the transcript, with vote tallies where the clerk recorded them and a note where the transcript records only a voice vote or tabling.
The Senate Finance and Claims Committee completed executive action on a series of bills after the SB 409 hearing. Below are the bills that the committee disposed of during the transcripted session; vote tallies are recorded where the transcript provides a roll call and otherwise are noted as "voice vote" or "not specified." Where the transcript explicitly states a bill was tabled, that is recorded below.

How to read this list
- Counts are printed where the transcript recorded a roll-call tally; where the committee used a voice vote the transcript records only the passage or a voice tally and no numeric roll call. Where the transcript indicates the committee postponed or tabled an item, the entry is shown as tabled.
- These notes summarize committee executive-action outcomes recorded in the supplied transcript. Floor consideration, final enrollment and any governor action are separate steps after committee passage and are not captured here.
If you want, I can prepare a minute-by-minute list of motions (mover/second for each bill and each roll-call line-by-line) or extract the exact roll-call counts by member for the items that used recorded votes.
