Notes: Tallies and outcomes above reflect the Clerk’s recorded announcements on the floor as captured in the transcript. Where the Assembly used a voice vote (e.g., some resolutions), the Clerk recorded co‑authors or announced the ayes/noes but no roll call tally was provided on the record. Readers should consult the official Assembly Journal for detailed roll‑call records and the enrolled versions of statutes.
Why this matters: The package mixes ceremonial recognitions and substantive statutory changes — including housing‑process reforms, permanent codification of mental‑health parity protections, and statutory changes affecting elections eligibility — each of which can have downstream regulatory or programmatic effects.
