The South Carolina House recorded multiple floor actions during the session, including roll‑call and voice votes on bills and procedural motions.
Key floor outcomes
- House Bill 32‑76 (hands‑free distracted driving): House tabled a motion to adjourn debate (vote 53‑39), later adopted committee amendment 1 (vote 70‑29), and agreed by voice vote to adjourn further debate for the day.
- House Bill 37‑31 (special purpose districts property sales): Received second reading; the House also granted unanimous consent for third reading during the session (no roll‑call tally recorded in the transcript excerpt).
- House Bill 35‑56 (Brandon Newton): Adopted on third reading (audio record indicates the ayes prevailed; no roll‑call tally provided in the excerpt).
- House Bill 35‑57: Approved on third reading (no roll‑call tally provided in the excerpt).
- Multiple bills were put on the contested calendar or had debate adjourned for later consideration. Examples (action listed as "debate adjourned" in the record): HB 30‑46, HB 31‑27, HB 30‑45, HB 33‑87, and several other measures referenced on the calendar during second reading and contested‑calendar proceedings.
Procedural notes
Many members rose to request debate on contested items, which placed several bills on the contested calendar for later consideration. Several committee reports and ceremonial resolutions were adopted by unanimous consent or voice vote; where the transcript recorded roll‑call tallies, those counts are listed above. For bills where only the procedural outcome ("adopted," "received second reading," or "debate adjourned") is recorded in the transcript excerpt, the article lists the formal outcome and notes that a roll‑call tally was not specified in the provided record.
The House adjourned at the close of the calendar to reconvene at its next scheduled session.
