Several other bills were circled for later action, including HB28 and the second substitute to SB108, and the Senate ended the day with routine communications and adjournment.
Why it matters: the day’s votes moved a mix of policy reforms and technical amendments forward across public health, tax, education, environment and governance topics; many measures now await third‑reading action or House consideration.
