The items below summarize the committee's recorded dispositions as reflected in the meeting transcript. If the transcript did not provide a precise roll call number, the tally is marked "not specified." All votes took place in executive session.
- SB 208: Motion to re‑refer for further work and stakeholder engagement. Recorded roll call in transcript: 3‑2 in favor of re‑refer.
- SB 33: Committee discussed the same amendment as SB 208 and moved to re‑refer the bill for further work; transcript indicates the bill was placed on consent for re‑refer and staff were asked to prepare combined language for both bills. Specific roll‑call numbers for final disposition not specified in transcript.

Other smaller items were put on consent and several bills were "taken out" of committee by members who volunteered to carry them forward; the transcript records a number of unanimous‑consent placements on consent calendars. For items where the transcript does not supply a full roll call, staff should consult the official committee minutes or clerk's record for precise vote tallies.
Formal actions recorded in the transcript include motions to re‑refer, motions to recommend Ought to Pass (OTP) as amended, and motions to recommend Inexpedient to Legislate (ITL). Several items were placed on consent or taken out for further work by sponsoring senators.
