Votes at a glance: Subcommittee approves Senate package in three blocks
Summary
Budget Subcommittee No. 3 held three roll‑call votes: a consent block passed 3–0, a second block passed 2–1, and a final block passed (2–0 with one member not voting). The votes advanced dozens of budget items toward the final Senate package.
After public comment, the subcommittee conducted three roll‑call votes on staff recommendations.
First voting block (consent items): The motion to accept staff recommendations for a long list of consent items was moved by Senator Grove and called for roll. Senators Benjovar, Grove and Weber Pearson voted 'aye' and the chair announced approval with a vote count of 3 to 0. The approved consent list included a wide array of items (see subcommittee record) spanning health‑care, behavioral‑health and programmatic funding lines.
Second voting block: Senator Weber Pearson moved a second block of items. Roll call recorded Benjovar 'aye', Grove 'no', and Weber Pearson 'aye'; the chair announced those items were approved by a 2 to 1 vote.
Final voting block: The final block of items was moved by Senator Weber Pearson. Roll call recorded Medjevar (aye) and Weber Pearson (aye); Senator Grove did not vote on this block. The chair announced the remaining items were approved and the subcommittee adjourned.
All three votes were recorded during the hearing and were procedural approvals of staff recommendations; no additional ordinances, trailer‑bill provisions or amendments were adopted on the floor during the meeting beyond those recommendations.
