Notes on vote recording - Where the transcript shows a voice vote and the chair announced "the ayes have it" without numeric roll call, the record indicates the outcome but no numeric tally is reported in the transcript. Where floor discussion recorded a roll‑call count, that tally is included above. - Several floor amendments associated with the Rental Act and the RFK package were decided by roll call and voice votes; those individual amendment tallies are recorded in the transcript and available in the formal minutes.

If you need the full roll‑call tallies for each amendment or the complete transcript spans used as evidence for each vote, the meeting transcript provides block‑level roll calls and speaker attributions and can be supplied on request.
