Votes at a Glance: Bills Advanced and Filed on Feb. 8, 2005
Summary
A roundup of bills the Senate advanced, read for a third time, or filed on Feb. 8, including motions, committee assignments and recorded roll-call outcomes for measures with little debate.
Several bills were advanced toward final consideration or were read for a third time with minimal floor debate on Feb. 8.
Key outcomes recorded on the floor include: First Substitute Senate Bill 31 (uncircled, read for third time), First Substitute Senate Bill 10 (apportioned liability changes; read for third time), Senate Bill 53 (land-value/property-tax study; amendment adopted), Senate Bill 54 (property-tax confidentiality amendment; read for third time), Senate Bill 121 (property-tax exemption amendments; amended and read for third time), and First Substitute Senate Bill 35 (drug-court codification; first substitute adopted). Clerk and floor announcements show several of these bills receiving unanimous or near-unanimous roll-call support where noted.
Vote tallies and floor notes given in the transcript (as read aloud by the clerk or president) included: First Substitute Senate Bill 31 ("26 yes votes, 0 nay votes, 3 absent" as announced on the floor for that bill's third reading), First Substitute Senate Bill 10 (announced 28 yes, 0 nay), Senate Bill 53 (28 yes, 0 nay), Senate Bill 54 (28 yes, 0 nay), Senate Bill 121 (read with affirmative tallies in the record), and First Substitute Senate Bill 35 (29 yes, 0 nay on the first substitute). Several other house communications (HB 46, HB 65, HB 212, HB 51) were transmitted for consideration and referred to the rules committee.
These items reflect routine floor processing and committee routing alongside the more contested measures also discussed during the session.
