What this means Most measures reported out of committee will now proceed to the House calendar for potential floor debate and amendment. Several measures (notably the Prop‑123/teacher pay package) require further fiscal analysis and stakeholder negotiations; one is a constitutional referral that would go to the ballot if adopted by the Legislature. Votes recorded on the floor can differ from committee outcomes based on amendments and negotiations.
Committee actions recorded in committee minutes and roll calls are now part of the official file for each bill.
