What this roundup excludes This summary excludes the two extensively debated bills — Senate Bill 5 (labor peace second-election repeal) and Senate Bill 3 (semiautomatic firearms regulation) — which are summarized in separate articles because they drew extended debate and detailed floor amendments and roll-call votes.
Provenance: floor minutes and roll-call reads from the Feb. 18, 2025 Senate session (consent calendar announcements, third-reading motions and roll-call tallies as read aloud by the clerk and majority leader).
