Several other bills and committee reports were announced or referred to committee. Bills that were read for the first time or placed on calendars were sent to the Rules Committee as recorded on the floor.
Notes: Tallies and sponsor names are taken from the on-record roll-call announcements during the floor session. For bills or agendas where the on-record tally was not complete or clearly stated in the transcript, the package lists the outcome as "moved to next step/unclear tally" and recommends consulting the enrolled bills and the official legislative Journal for final vote records.
