Below are summaries of bills that received final action during the morning session. Each entry lists the caption as read on the floor, the committee of reference, a one‑line description based on the floor caption, and the recorded roll‑call tally announced on the House floor.

- House Bill 186, 290, 327, 378 and 416 were taken up after committee reports and were adopted on the floor; the presiding officer announced the tallies above which appear in the House transcript.
Note on consistency: the floor transcript contains vote tallies as read aloud by the clerk and declared by the presiding officer for each item; where the transcript shows an inconsistent numeric statement (for example, an item where the clerk's numbers and the presiding officer's declaration appear discordant), this summary reports the numbers as read on the House floor verbatim from the transcript.
This roundup does not restate bills that were read for first or second reading without final floor action during this session. For detailed debate and sponsor remarks, see the individual bill entries on the House journal or the session transcript.
