Votes at a glance: Senate adopts multiple resolutions, concurrences and conference reports
Summary
On a busy floor day the Tennessee Senate adopted memorials and honors on the consent calendar, concurred in several House amendments, rejected some House changes, and adopted a conference committee report; many items were approved by constitutional majorities with recorded voice or clerks' tallies.
The Tennessee Senate recorded final action today on a slate of resolutions, concurrences and conference reports.
Consent calendar items and memorializing resolutions on the consent calendar were adopted early in the session, and a number of honors and resolutions (including recognition of veterans' related observances and multiple local honorees) were passed by voice or unanimous consent.
On messages and concurrence actions, the Senate took the following final actions (selected items recorded on the floor):
- Senate Resolution 68 (Sen. Massey): passed (clerk announced constitutional majority) to honor Women's Veterans Appreciation Day (06/12/2025).
- Senate concurred in House Amendment No. 1 to Senate Bill 950 (Sen. Powers): clerk recorded 25 ayes, 3 nays, making the concurrence the final action on the bill.
- Senate concurred in House Amendment No. 2 to Senate Bill 1019 (Sen. White): clerk recorded 25 ayes, no nays reported on the board; concurrence recorded as final action.
- Senate refused to recede on a House action for House Bill 1097 (Sen. Lowe): Senate recorded refusal to recede (no roll-call tally noted on the transcript).
- Senate non-concurred in House changes to Senate Bill 229 (message returned non-concur) and appointed a conference committee to resolve differences (committee membership announced on the floor).
- The Senate adopted a conference committee report on Senate Bill 102 (Sen. Jackson): clerk recorded 31 ayes, no nays, making the conference report the final action.
- For Senate Bill 1068 (booting/towing bill, Leader Johnson), the Senate concurred in multiple House amendments (amendments 3, 4 and 5) by recorded roll calls; clerk tallies on the floor were recorded as unanimous or by constitutional majority (amendment 3: 29 ayes; amendment 4: 30 ayes; amendment 5: 31 ayes) and the bill’s final action was recorded as concurrence.
- Additional concurrence actions recorded on the floor included Senate Bills 221, 714 and others where the Senate either concurred in House amendments or refused to recede; roll-call tallies were recorded for many of these items (for example, SB221 concurrence recorded 27 ayes, 4 nays).
Where the transcript omitted precise numeric tallies for a particular voice vote, the clerk and presiding officer declared the constitutional majority or recorded the outcome on the board; items passed by constitutional majority were declared adopted and motions to reconsider were tabled where appropriate.
