Votes at a glance: House third-reading and committee actions, Feb. 20 (Day 40)
Summary
A roundup of final votes and committee referrals taken on the House floor including several third-reading outcomes and committee report adoptions.
The House completed a series of final votes and committee actions during the Day 40 floor session. Below are the recorded third-reading outcomes and notable committee referrals and committee-report adoptions taken on the floor.
Third-reading recorded outcomes (selected items): - House Bill 258 — Passed (57–43) - House Bill 341 — Passed (100–0) - House Bill 469 — Passed (56–44) - House Bill 416 — Passed (56–44) - House Bill 473 — Passed (100–0) - House Bill 437 — Failed (46–54)
Committee report and other actions: - The Committee of the Whole report was adopted (clerk recorded 91 ayes, 7 no) and the House accepted committee recommendations for multiple bills following second-reading work. - House Bill 314 (state energy authority) was re-referred to the Appropriations Committee by order; the majority leader moved the referral and it was ordered without objection.
Why it matters: the listed third-reading votes reflect bills that will advance to the Senate if they were passed by the House, or that will not proceed because they failed. Committee referrals route bills for additional fiscal or policy review and can materially change legislation before final passage.
For reporters and stakeholders: these recorded tallies are the official floor counts announced by the clerk; items that passed will continue through the legislative process and may receive amendment in subsequent committees or on concurrence.
