Following the motion the clerk called for a roll call. The vote result was recorded: "Ayes, 32. No nays. Motion to adopt has prevailed." The transcript records no nays.
The adoption places the chamber's temporary procedures in effect as the Senate's governing rules for the stated session. No substantive changes to pending legislation were announced as part of the rules action.
