Several other measures were read and passed or retained on the calendar; the clerk recorded actions for transmittal to the Senate. Many members used recorded explanations of vote to put their floor rationale on the record. Where the transcript records a roll call, the tallies above follow the clerk's announcements on the floor.
Next steps: bills that passed the House will be enrolled for transmittal to the Senate or otherwise proceed according to legislative rules; bills that failed may be reconsidered per applicable rules or refiled in future sessions.
