Summary
The Senate recorded 32 yays, 0 nays and 2 absent/not voting on both concurrence votes for Senate Bill 945 (Adjutant General pay during shutdown) and Senate Bill 1042 (underground mine ventilation standards). Both measures were declared passed.
The Senate recorded roll-call votes on two bills and declared both passed.
Senator from Lewis moved that the Senate concur in the House amendment to Senate Bill 945 (permitting the Adjutant General to pay employees during a federal government shutdown or furlough). After debate was closed, the presiding officer announced the machine results: "On this question, 32 yays, 0 nays, 2 absent not voted." The presiding officer declared the bill passed and ordered the action communicated to the House.
Later, the Senate considered Senate Bill 1042 (relating to ventilation of underground mines). Senator from Lewis explained that the bill clarifies that a federal standard of 3,000 cubic feet per minute of airflow applies to the workforce during active mining phases rather than to idle spaces. The Senate concurred in the House amendment on that bill and recorded the machine results as "32 yays, 0 nays, 2 absent not voting." The presiding officer declared the bill passed. Senator from Lewis then moved that the bill be made effective from passage. The transcript does not record the separate result of the effective-date motion.
Vote tallies reported on the floor match the machine results the presiding officer read for each question.
