Votes were recorded as voice votes with the chair declaring motions carried; the transcript does not provide a roll‑call tally for each named legislator. Where dollar amounts were read into the record, they are reported above as presented in committee materials and discussion; one bond amount read aloud appears inconsistent with staff comments and is noted above.
