Notes and process details
- In several cases the Senate adopted substitutes or second substitutes on the floor; where a substitute was adopted the transcript notes that sponsors intended to post final language for review before final passage. - A small number of bills were circled or encircled for further floor action; where the chamber encircled or circled a bill the transcript records that the bill remained on the calendar for later action.
