- Senate Bill 1-36 (missing livestock reporting): passed on the floor; sponsors described a requirement that brand inspectors notify local law enforcement within 24 hours when livestock are stolen or missing.

Many bills passed by voice vote earlier in the day after committee reports; others were decided on recorded machine votes later in the session. Following the series of votes the House laid over the remainder of the calendar to the next day and recessed.
Why this matters: The House advanced bills affecting natural resources, public safety, occupational regulation and education policy. Recorded tallies show several relatively close votes on substantive measures and a few unanimous or near‑unanimous results for technical items.
