The Arizona State Senate on Feb. 17 adopted a set of bills and transmitted them to the House. Below are the measures the chamber recorded on third reading, with the floor vote totals as announced by the clerk on the record.
SB 1038 — Cast vote record as public record: Passed on third reading; recorded vote 17 ayes, 12 nays, 1 not voting. The Committee on Judiciary and Elections reported the bill as amended and the Committee of the Whole adopted the committee amendment before final passage.
SB 1133 — Candidate financial disclosures (emergency): Passed with emergency clause; recorded vote 23 ayes, 6 nays, 1 not voting. Floor amendments (including a Gowen amendment addressing local carve‑outs) were adopted prior to final passage.
SB 1247 — Assisted living centers (health care institutions): Passed as amended; recorded vote 28 ayes, 1 nay, 1 not voting. A Peterson floor amendment was adopted to allow non‑caregivers to live with residents in certain assisted living settings.
SB 1172 — Department of Child Safety-related changes: Passed on third reading; recorded vote 28 ayes, 1 nay, 1 not voting. The Senate instructed the secretary to transmit the bill to the House.
SB 1175 — Child welfare provisions: Passed on third reading; recorded vote 28 ayes, 1 nay, 1 not voting.
Procedure notes: The Committee of the Whole reported due‑pass recommendations for a number of bills earlier in the session; the clerk read the committee report into the journal and the Senate adopted the committee report and voted individually on the bills. Passed bills will be sent to the House for consideration.
What this means: Most measures passed without lengthy floor debate (several were accompanied by committee and floor amendments) and will move to the House for further action; one measure from today, SCR 1,001 (a constitutional ballot referral affecting election rules), received extended debate and also received a due‑pass recommendation.
