Motions and record notes
Majority Leader Rodriguez moved passage of the consent-calendar bills on third reading. When asked for objections, Senator Bazely asked to be recorded as a no on House Bill 10-54; the clerk recorded that request. Senate Bill 60 was later the subject of a motion to reconsider and was repassed following that motion.
Other business
The committee of the whole considered general orders and the Senate recessed and later rose and reported; other routine announcements and committee scheduling were made during the session.
