Notes and caveats: The committee record at the end of the session contains multiple back‑and‑forth procedural votes, voice votes, proxies and roll calls. This summary reports outcomes as explicitly recorded in the transcript text. Where the transcript records a tally number, that tally is reported here; where the transcript uses procedural voice votes or subsequent roll calls, outcomes are reported as the session text presents them.
