Procedure and context: Many motions were offered with the formality "Is there any discussion? Seeing none," followed by unanimous voice votes recorded as "The ayes have it" or statements that "The Senate concurs/refuses to concur." Where a senator spoke at length—Senator Ward on SB 210—that item was handled separately and a conference was requested. The Senate also received visiting school groups and entered personal privileges into the journal.
What to expect next: For bills where the Senate requested a committee of conference (notably SB 210), conferees were named and the chambers will meet to reconcile differences; other bills will proceed according to the legislature's established reconciliation and enrollment processes.
The session recessed to the call of the chair after the final motions were adopted.
