Other procedural and committee actions recorded on the floor:
- House Bill 587 — Establishes certification requirements for haulers and brokers of food processing residuals: The House adopted an amendment offered by Representative Mao that gives the Department of Agriculture authority to promulgate temporary regulations and delayed the effective date to allow implementation; the amendment was adopted (Ayes 203, Nays 0). The bill as amended was ordered reprinted; a final floor passage vote for the bill as amended was not recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
- Senate Bill 160 was presented as the general appropriations bill for FY 2025–2026 and read into the record; the transcript includes the bill summary but does not include a final passage vote in the excerpt provided.
Floor notes: multiple bills were described as having been considered on three different days prior to final passage votes, and several bills were returned to the senate for concurrence after the House’s final passage. The transcript also shows motions by the majority leader to recommit certain bills to appropriations and a motion to adjourn the House until Oct. 6, 2025 at noon.
This summary reflects the roll‑call counts and procedural entries as read into the House transcript on Oct. 1, 2025; where a final passage vote was not included in the excerpt (for example, some committee referrals or reprinted bills), the transcript notes this and the entry above indicates "not specified" or omits a tally.
