Votes at a glance: Actions taken Feb. 28 by the Georgia Senate Rules Committee
Summary
The Rules committee recorded several committee actions Feb. 28, advancing a set of bills and resolutions to the Rules calendar and approving committee substitutes for multiple items. This roundup lists motions, movers, and the committee outcome as recorded in the transcript.
The Senate Rules standing committee took a number of procedural votes Feb. 28 to advance bills and resolutions to the Rules calendar or to record committee action. The transcript records the motions and movers but does not always supply numeric roll-call tallies; when a numerical count was not stated the committee reported outcomes by voice and the chairman announced results.
Summary of formal actions recorded in committee:
