The transcript also records that numerous other bills were engrossed and passed to third reading or passed on third reading during the session, often with the floor calling the question and the chair announcing the outcome without a printed roll-call tally in the spoken record. Where the transcript records only the chair’s announcement ("bills are engrossed and passed the third reading"), we list the bill and note that the roll-call tally was not specified in the spoken minutes.
Examples of additional bills recorded as engrossed/passed (no roll-call tally printed in the transcript):
- House Bill 1867 — Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (lease renewals/notice) — Passed; tally not specified on the floor record. - House Bill 1997 — Virginia Growth and Opportunity Act amendments — Passed; tally not specified on the floor record. - House Bill 2401 — Child labor and minors in content creation protections — Passed; tally not specified on the floor record. - House Bill 2413 — Electric utilities integrated resource plans (changes to planning) — Passed; tally not specified on the floor record.
Floor procedure notes: many bills passed on voice vote or by general assent and were recorded by the clerk as engrossed and passed; specific vote counts were provided by the chair or clerk for several contested measures and are noted above. If a bill in this list lacks a numerical roll-call tally, the transcript did not supply one in the floor record and the outcome is recorded as provided by the clerk/chair.
