Senator Titus and Senator Stone are recorded as dissenting on several measures (repeatedly recorded as nays in the transcript). The transcript does not provide full numerical tallies for each vote; where the record shows "motion carries unanimously" the committee reported no recorded dissenters on the transcript.
