For items where no numeric tally was shown in the transcript excerpt, the outcome language on the floor ("Having received the constitutional majority, I declare it passed"; "the Senate has concurred") is reported as the recorded outcome without a numeric tally. The transcript does not always include the full enrolled text or subsequent House or executive actions; readers should consult the enrolled bill text for final statutory language and effective dates.
