Procedural notes: some bills were circled for amendment (for example, SB30 was reconsidered and circled for amendment after members raised concerns about a fiscal note), and other measures were placed on the calendar after being lifted from rules. Bills passed on the House floor were generally returned to the Senate for signature by the President following floor action.
This summary lists the primary floor tallies announced on the record during the session; implementation actions and rule-making steps that follow each passage were not detailed in the floor transcript.
