Notes: Many motions were framed as “approve as read by staff”; where individual no votes were named in the transcript those are noted above. In several cases the transcript recorded “the motion carries” without a roll‑call tally; the subcommittee followed the standard practice of recording named no votes when offered.

All recorded votes and motion texts will be included in the subcommittee’s closing packet to the full joint committees.
