Votes at a glance: House passes a consent package of Senate files and advances multiple bills
Summary
The House approved a third‑reading consent list including several Senate files (5, 7, 8, 11, 16, 24, 28, 30 and 31) and recorded roll‑call tallies; later the chamber recorded final passage on additional bills and reported committee referrals and schedules before recess.
The majority floor leader moved a third‑reading consent list that included Senate Files 5, 7, 8, 11, 16, 24, 28, 30 and 31. The reading clerk read each bill caption and the House proceeded with votes. The chief clerk and reading clerk recorded roll calls and voice votes across the consent items; multiple bills received the affirmative vote needed for passage and the clerk announced each bill as passed by the House.
Examples from the floor record: the Clerk announced closure of a voice or roll call with results such as '59 I, 3 excused' for some items and recorded specific tallies for individual bills (e.g., '38 I, 21 no, 3 excused' for a listed item in the transcript). Bills in the consent package covered diverse policy areas including hospital bankruptcy proceedings (SF 5), theft/crimes revisions (SF 7), juvenile/absconding revisions (SF 8), burial of indigent veterans (SF 11), subleasing of state lands (SF 16), lottery ticket payment methods (SF 24), election/machine testing (SF 28), voter registration revisions (SF 30), and a uniform mortgage modification act (SF 31).
In other floor business, the House received and reported numerous standing committee recommendations, re‑referrals (for example, Senate File 56 was rereferred to Appropriations), and announced committee meeting times. The House adjourned to recess until 2 p.m. at the majority leader’s motion.
This summary captures final passage for consent items and scheduling actions recorded on the floor during the session excerpt; specific roll‑call vote tallies are recorded in the House journal and clerk’s official record for each bill.
