For the record

Where the transcript gave a full roll-call tally, it is reported above. Where the clerk or chair recorded that a bill was "agreed to" without a roll-call number in the provided excerpt, the summary notes the bill was agreed to but flags the transcript's lack of a specified final tally. For measures that were amended on the floor, the article notes the existence of agreed-to amendments and any amendment roll-call totals recorded on the floor.
