Notes on roll-call and transcript detail: The committee transcript contains some explicit roll-call tallies (for example, SB834 at 7-4; SB600 at 9-2). For multiple bills the transcript records the committee''s affirmative recording or a unanimous passage without enumerating a roll-call count; when the numerical tally was not stated in the transcript excerpt, this summary marks the vote as recorded but notes that the exact roll-call numbers were not specified.
If you need an official roll-call count for a particular bill, please request the committee clerk''s official vote sheet for March 12, 2025.
