Votes at a glance: Senate passes consent calendar and multiple conference committee reports; recess called to finish business
Summary
The Senate adopted consent calendar No. 2 and multiple conference committee reports (including HB 2314, HB 1707 with a sunset, HB 2422), passed SJR 12-79 and HJR 15-45, and recessed to allow remaining conference committees to meet before a planned adjournment sine die.
The Senate completed a busy floor session by adopting a consent calendar, approving several conference committee reports and passing ceremonial and substantive measures before recessing to permit final conference negotiations.
Major recorded actions and outcomes:
- Consent calendar No. 2 (memorializing and congratulating resolutions) — adopted (voice vote; clerk recorded the passage). - Senate Bill 254 — the Senate concurred in House Amendment No. 2; action declared final for the Senate. - Senate Joint Resolution 12-79 (honoring the retirement of Williams County Mayor Rogers Anderson) — rules suspended and resolution adopted (voice vote recorded as 32 ayes, no nays). - House Joint Resolution 15-45 (National Police Week) — Finance Committee recommended the resolution for passage (committee recommendation reported 10 ayes); the body concurred. - Conference committee reports adopted: House Bill 2314 (adult-oriented establishments), House Bill 1707 (adopted with a sunset to 02/01/2029), House Bill 2422 (education bill date change) and others; votes were recorded for each as shown on the clerk’s roll.
After completing these items, Leader Johnson reported three conference committee reports remained outstanding; the Senate recessed to allow those conference committees to meet in person and to prepare for potential adjournment sine die later in the day.
Detailed vote tallies and the clerk’s recorded counts were read into the record for each final action; for convenience, press and public clerks may consult the clerk’s desk copies for the complete roll call records.
