Notes and limits
These entries summarize motions and recorded outcomes that appear in the public transcript. Where the transcript records questions, staff responses or public comments, those details are included in the individual-item discussion in separate articles. The transcript records voice votes and "motion carries" but does not include roll-call vote tallies or recorded individual yes/no votes for most motions; where committees gave a recommendation before the full commission, that committee recommendation is noted above.
