Local and procedural actions - The Senate concurred or non-concurred as noted on multiple house amendments; in one high-profile instance the chamber non-concurred on pharmacy-board language and appointed conferees (Kelly, Butler, Beasley) to conference. - Numerous local bills (annexations, county fee changes, sheriff compensation updates, and other local governance items) were passed under unanimous votes or by consent on the calendar.
Why it matters: The session cleared the fiscal 2026 appropriations bill, a stack of supplemental and local measures and several statutory changes across regulatory and criminal procedure codes. Most items passed with unanimous support; a small number required conference committee work or produced amendments requiring further negotiations.
