What this means: the committee’s concurrence sends these House bills to the Senate floor for further consideration. Roll‑call votes and recorded proxies are included in committee minutes; where votes were by voice, the committee recorded the outcome and noted proxy votes when called for.
Minutes show committee discussion and brief questions to department staff occurred before each concurrence vote; the committee named floor carriers for several of the bills.
