Votes at a glance (as recorded in committee transcript):
- House Bill 1075: Motion: “I move that the bill receive a due pass recommendation and be sent to the rules committee.” Motion moved from the floor and adopted by voice vote; committee announced: “The bill has passed subject to signatures.” (voice vote; movers not named on the transcript.)
- Engrossed House Bill 1191: Motion: “I move that the bill receive a due pass recommendation and be sent to the Rules Committee.” Adopted by voice vote; announced: “The bill has passed subject to signatures.”
- House Bill 1096: The committee specifically noted that it would not take action on House Bill 1096 that day.
- House Bill 1757 (House Bill 17 57 in transcript): The committee adopted a page‑in‑line striking amendment labeled B‑1 (offered by Senator Bateman) by voice vote. The chair then moved that the amendment be rolled into a new striking amendment and that “the bill as amended receive a due pass recommendation and be sent to the rules committee.” Adopted by voice vote; announced: “The bill has passed subject to signatures.”
- Substitute House Bill 1899: Motion: “I move that the bill receive a due pass recommendation and be sent to the rules committee.” Adopted by voice vote; announced: “The bill has passed subject to signatures.”
The transcript does not include individual yes/no tallies or names of members voting in favor or opposition; votes were recorded by voice and outcomes announced by the chair. Where the transcript indicates a senator placed a question on the record (for example, Senator Gaynor said he was “without recommendation” on one matter), the committee still proceeded to a voice vote and announced the outcome.
Ending: The committee forwarded the approved measures to the rules committee and recorded the outcomes as “passed subject to signatures.” The transcript shows no roll‑call counts and no formal recorded dissents in the public minutes for these actions.
