Where votes were recorded in the transcript, tallies are above; for circled items the House postponed final disposition pending amendment and fiscal staff review.
Next steps: Bills that passed the House are transmitted to the Senate for its consideration. HB1008 remains under active amendment and will return to the floor after fiscal language is reconciled.
