During executive action the committee moved several bills and amendments. Recorded outcomes in the transcript include a roll-call defeat (15–8) for a HB 6 amendment to restore a Missoula project; other bills passed as once amended or on voice votes.
This article compiles formal motions, amendment outcomes and final executive-action results recorded in the transcript for bills the House Appropriations Committee considered in its executive session.
Summary of recorded actions and outcomes (transcript):
- House Bill 266 — Motion: accept amendment (subcommittee condensing/reporting language) and move Do Pass once amended. Outcome: Passed (voice vote recorded; proxies noted). Vote tally not recorded in transcript for final passage.

Notes on voting method and tallies in transcript: many executive actions used voice votes; a few amendments were recorded by roll call. Where the transcript reports roll-call counts (HB 6 amendment), those tallies are listed above. For several bills the transcript uses voice votes and does not list individual member roll-call tallies; those are marked "not specified" below.
Detailed actions (as recorded in transcript):
- HB 266: mover: Vice Chair Cafaro (moved HB 266); subsequent motion to pass once amended by Representative Paul (mover). Vote: voice (passed; proxies recorded but no roll-call tally in transcript). Outcome: approved as once amended.
- HB 6: amendment to restore Missoula Public Library living roof. Mover: Representative Keogh. Roll-call result in transcript: yes 15, no 8. Amendment outcome: failed. Final: HB 6 passed as once amended (subcommittee list). Final vote method: voice vote (passed).
- HB 7: amendment (Fitzpatrick/others) adopted in committee; final Do Pass once amended recorded as unanimously passing by voice vote.
- HB 8: Do Pass (voice vote; unanimous per transcript).
- HB 474: Do Pass (voice vote; unanimous per transcript). Mover: Representative Gillette (sponsor), support from DPHHS; no roll-call tally.
- HB 341: Do Pass (voice vote; unanimous per transcript). Mover: Vice Chair Mercer moved Do Pass in executive action.
Why it matters: The transcript’s executive-action record shows which projects and bills the committee prioritized, any substantial dissent (the HB 6 roll-call on the Missoula project) and which items the committee forwarded to the full House. For bills with voice votes the transcript does not list member-by-member tallies; those would be available in the committee journal or roll-call minutes if required for auditing.
