Why it matters: The consent calendar cleared multiple bills with minimal floor debate, while other measures (notably legislation affecting firearms data and dealer requirements) drew floor discussion and recorded votes. The Senate also used layovers to reschedule several resolutions and one Senate bill for future consideration.
Procedural note: All vote tallies and recorded no‑vote lists are as announced by the clerk on the Senate floor; individual roll‑call entries beyond those listed were not transcribed in full in the session record.
