- House Bill 5 79: Passed on third reading after brief explanation (vote recorded in the transcript as in favor; transcript formatting of tally is garbled in places).
- House Bill 5 80: Passed; sponsor described repeals of antiquated statutes including references to camcorder language and said the changes were vetted over the summer working group.
- House Bill 5 81: Passed; establishes a legislative review process for Supreme Court rules without changing separation‑of‑powers boundaries.
Several other bills were read for introduction or referral to committee, and the clerk recorded committee meeting schedules and announcements at the end of the session. Where the transcript’s numeric vote lines were unclear or garbled, this summary indicates the reported outcome but lists exact tallies as recorded only when clearly readable in the transcript.
