Notes and limitations: This roundup reflects roll‑call tallies announced on the Senate floor in the provided transcript. Several bills underwent substitution on the floor before third reading; where the transcript recorded a substitute being adopted, that substitution is noted. For items where the transcript excerpt did not clearly record a final tally or passage, the entry identifies that the outcome was unresolved in the excerpt.
Ending: The Senate adjourned after the rules committee report, communications from the House and a motion to adjourn until the next scheduled floor session; several bills from the floor will be transmitted to or considered by the House.
