Consent-calendar and committee reports: The Senate adopted committee reports and consent-calendar second-reading items, moving numerous House and Senate bills forward to third reading and final passage on the calendar. The transcript shows a long list of appropriation-related bills read by title and placed on the calendar for third reading; those items were taken up on the consent calendar and ordered for final passage unless noted.
Laid over or tabled: - House Bill 1006 (school-district leasing authority) was laid over to the bottom of the calendar after floor concerns about term limits, long leases and scope (solar vs. wind) were raised.
Notes: Many bills were read by title in a sequence of appropriation and continuation items (Senate bills in the 200s and 100s) and were handled on the consent calendar or third reading. The transcript excerpt captures both roll-call tallies for specific bills (above) and many titles read without recorded roll-call tallies in the provided excerpt. For full, official vote tallies and later House concurrence or signature information, consult the Senate Journal for March 31, 2025.
This summary lists items and tallies as recorded on the Senate floor in the provided transcript excerpt; if a final recorded tally was not in the excerpt, the item is noted as adopted or placed on the calendar without a roll-call figure here.
