Summary
During the floor session the Senate advanced multiple bills to third reading, including SB 225 (post-judgment interest), SB 237 (service members custody), SB 239 (recording police), SB 129 (salvage vehicle auction rules), and several committee-submitted bills placed on the consent calendar.
Several bills received floor action and roll-call votes during the Senate session. The following is a concise summary of outcomes recorded on the floor:
- Senate Bill 225 (post-judgment interest rate): Passed for third reading (24 yes, 0 no, 5 absent). Sponsor said it clarifies post-judgment interest on final judgments under $10,000 as the federal post-judgment rate plus 10 percent.

- Senate Bill 239 (interfering with a peace officer — recording protections): Passed for third reading (24 yes, 0 no, 5 absent). Sponsor said the bill clarifies that non-interfering bystanders who record police actions are not guilty of interference, willful resistance, disorderly conduct or obstruction.
