The Wyoming Senate recorded multiple formal roll-call and voice votes during its Jan. 22, 2025 session. Below are the bills and outcomes announced on the Senate floor during that day.
Votes at a glance
- Consent list (Senate Files 33, 38, 53, 72): Reported as passed. For the consent group the clerk announced 30 ayes, 1 excused when the package was initially called; individual tallies for members removing bills were taken in follow-up votes. Specific outcomes read on the floor: Senate File 33 — 30 aye, 1 excused; Senate File 38 — 30 aye, 1 excused; Senate File 53 — 16 aye, 14 no, 1 excused; Senate File 72 — 17 aye, 13 no, 1 excused.
- Senate File 7 (Protection order amendments): Passed on third reading; chair recorded the result as "Aye" with 1 excused (closing announced: "Senate File 7 Aye, 1 excused").
- Senate File 44 (Fairness in sports, intercollegiate athletics): Passed on third reading; closing tally announced as approximately 27 aye, 3 no, 1 excused (transcript read "Senate File 44, 27, 3 no, 1 excused" in the closing announcement).
- Senate File 70 (Investment Modernization — state funds): Required a two-thirds vote because it involved funds; roll-call result announced on the floor was 23 aye, 7 no, 1 excused. The presiding officer announced the bill had passed with the required supermajority.
- Other committee-of-the-whole reports: Several bills (including Senate File 28, ROTC endowment; Senate File 2, hunting license weighted bonus system) were reported favorably from the committee of the whole and advanced for further consideration.
What the tallies mean
- "Aye" and numerical tallies reported on the floor reflect the clerk's recorded roll-call or closing voice-division tallies as read into the record. When the clerk or presiding officer announced a tally (for example, "16 aye, 14 no, 1 excused" for Senate File 53), that is recorded here verbatim.
- Several measures required only a simple majority; Senate File 70 required two-thirds and the clerk recorded a 23-7-1 result meeting that threshold.
Context
The larger session included extended committee work and protracted debate on tax policy (Senate File 81) and wildlife license allocation (Senate File 2). The votes listed here were the formal actions reported on the Senate floor on Jan. 22, 2025. Where individual member votes were not read into the record for every motion in the transcript, only the announced tallies are shown.
