Notes: Many bills were considered in the Committee of the Whole and passed with committee recommendations. Where the transcript records floor amendments or committee amendments, the summary above notes that the amendment was adopted before final passage. The clerk’s announcements at the end of each roll call were used for final tallies; some individual explanation‑of‑vote remarks were recorded on the floor for several bills but not all measures produced extended debate.
