Notes on the roundup

- This roundup reports committee outcomes as recorded in the meeting transcript. For some measures the committee took amendments by consent (no recorded roll call) and then recorded a final vote. Where committee roll calls were recorded, the transcript provides the tallies cited above. - Where a bill was passed by consent amendment, committee staff and authors generally said they would work with stakeholders on technical language before floor consideration.

What readers should expect next

- Committee‑passed bills will move to the Senate floor for second reading and potential further amendments. Authors and sponsors noted ongoing work with interested stakeholders (agencies, trade groups, counties, hospitals, local governments) and indicated that technical fixes would be likely ahead of final passage.
