How to read this list - —PBI— indicates —Pass By Indefinitely— or placement in committee for further study; it is not final passage of a bill. - —Referred— indicates the committee formally sent the measure or concepts to the named agency or commission for further analysis. - Recorded tallies are reproduced from the transcript. Where the transcript records a roll call or an explicit tally, that figure is shown above.
Ending: Committee actions left a number of high-profile housing and technology measures in study or referred for technical review; sponsors and stakeholders will continue negotiations before final floor action.
