Where the transcript lists recorded roll call tallies, this roundup reproduces the clerk’s floor counts; the body did not always list full roll‑call name‑by‑name tallies in the segments selected for the record. For items where the floor discussion raised fiscal or constitutional questions (SB 74, SB 114, SB 88) senators flagged follow‑up items for third reading where needed.
Next steps: Bills placed on third reading will return to the floor for final passage votes; bills transmitted to the House will be considered by the lower chamber.
