What this list means: Passage on the House floor sends the measure back to the Senate for signature or further consideration on any House amendments. Bills that were "read and referred to rules" or "placed on concurrence calendars" will move through committee and scheduling processes as required.
Notes: Several items were adopted as substitutes (committee or floor substitutes) and multiple committee reports were adopted later in the session. Where members asked for additional clarifications on fiscal notes or implementation details, those items were noted for follow-up rather than resolved on the floor.
The full floor transcript records additional committee reports, bills returned to Rules and other procedural actions read aloud during the period covered here.
