Notes and provenance
- Tallies above are the roll-call results announced by the secretary on the Senate floor and match the floor transcript tallies for each recorded final vote. Bills that passed will be transmitted to the House where appropriate; failed measures may be refiled, amended or otherwise revisited in committee or future sessions.
- For many measures the transcript records floor amendments adopted prior to final passage (for example, SB 124C; SB 191C; SB 216C; SB 188B; HB 1093D/E). Those adopted amendments are listed in the individual article entries for each bill when the floor debate was substantive.
- This roundup is not an exhaustive list of every motion or first-reading item from the day's calendar; it collects the main final actions and their official tallies.
