Notes on committee procedure

- "Do pass" or "do pass as amended" recommendations from committee are routine steps in committee workflow; a bill reported out of committee still must be scheduled for floor action by the full House.

- Several bills recorded as "passed" in committee were decided by voice vote or roll call; records above only list committee-level disposition. Where a numerical tally was recorded in the transcript, that tally is included above. For measures moved to the table, the committee postponed or held the measure without an immediate recommendation to the full floor.

This summary reflects only the formal committee dispositions recorded during the May 20 session; it does not reflect further action that may be taken in the House or Senate.
