Summary
The Senate approved a consent package of House bills (23, 25, 27, 54) and removed House Bill 45 from the consent list to lay it back for one day. Tallies for the consent items were recorded on the floor.
During the Feb. 14, 2025 floor session the Senate approved a consent list of House bills and completed several recorded roll-call and voice votes.
The majority leader moved a third-reading consent list that initially included House Bills 23, 25, 27, 45 and 54. Senators removed House Bill 45 (removing otters as protected animals) from the consent list; the measure was laid back for one day by unanimous consent.
