Votes at a glance: bills moved to third reading or passed during Feb. 10 session
Summary
Clerk and chairs recorded a series of roll-call and voice votes on Feb. 10. Several bills were placed on third-reading calendars or noted as passed and sent to the House; tallies below are drawn from the session record.
The Senate recorded votes and procedural actions on multiple bills during the Feb. 10 session. Below are the items mentioned on the floor and the vote tallies as announced by the clerk in the transcript. Where the transcript's wording was unclear, the entry notes that a precise tally was not specified.
- Substitute House Bill 54 (consent calendar): recorded as 26 ayes, no nays, 3 absent; bill passes and will be sent to the House. (clerk announced at SEG 129–131)
- Senate Bill 84 (amendments to criminal background checks): clerk announced 'Senate bill 84 shows 24 ayes, no nays, 5 being absent' and the bill will be sent to the House. (SEG 185–186)
- Senate Bill 89 (drinking/wastewater funding): clerk announced 'Senate bill 89 shows 27 ayes, no nays, 2 being absent'; bill passed and will be sent to the House. (SEG 272–274)
- Senate Bill 82 (mental health funding/custody amendment): clerk announced 'Senate bill 82 shows 24 ayes, no nays, 5 being absent' and the bill passes. (SEG 323–326)
- Substitute Senate Bill 101 (explosive/incendiary devices): clerk recorded that the substitute passed and will be sent to the House; the clerk's readback gives an affirmative vote count but the transcript's wording on absentees is unclear (tally reported on the floor). (SEG 386–389)
- House Bill 37 (student donations / extension of sunset): clerk recorded 'House bill 37 shows 22 ayes' and placed the bill on the third-reading calendar. (SEG 468–469)
- House Bill 70 (waiver of 90-day period): clerk recorded 'House bill 70 shows 25 ayes, no nays' and placed it on the third-reading calendar. (SEG 585–588)
- House Bill 31 (telephone fraud second substitute): clerk recorded 'House bill 31 shows 27 ayes, no nays, 2 being absent' and the bill was placed on the third-reading calendar. (SEG 2531–2534)
- Substitute Senate Bill 47 (dam safety): clerk announced 'substitute senate bill 47 shows 25 ayes, no nays, 4 being absent' and the substitute was placed on the third-reading calendar. (SEG 1716–1720)
Notes and clarifications: some clerk readbacks in the transcript use colloquial or partially garbled phrasing (for example, 'shows 25 eyes on a's for being absent' or '22 eyes on 86 being absent'). Where the transcript reported an explicit numeric tally we repeat it above; where the transcript's wording is ambiguous about the absentee count we have flagged the entry as 'transcript unclear' and recommend checking the official journal for final certified tallies.
