Notes and caveats: the Senate handled several “consent calendar” packages and committee-of-the-whole reports; many bills were moved in bundles and a number of floor amendments were offered and disposed of on the record. Where the on-floor record printed an exact tally it is quoted above; where the transcript did not print a tally the field is marked "not specified." For exact vote certificates, the Senate journal and the enrolled bill documents should be consulted.
