Notes: vote tallies are taken from committee announcements in the hearing transcript. Where the transcript only records an announced tally (for example, “fails 2 to 3” or “passes unanimously”), those announcements are reported verbatim. The transcript does not always list roll‑call vote names for each action; if a roll‑call was not read, the committee‑announced totals are recorded here.
