Notes on identifiers and missing details: The transcript excerpt contains many bill identifiers read aloud (calendar numbers, "Senate print" numbers) and often announces an effective date (immediate, 60th day, 90th day, Nov. 1, or one year after enactment). Where sponsor names, specific section effective dates, or amendment texts were not contained in the transcript excerpt, this roundup marks those fields as "not specified" below and references the floor reading as the primary source.
Ending: The Senate completed the calendar and adjourned until May 7, 2025; many budget and supplemental items were expected to come before the chamber on that date.
