Following the testimony on innovation bills, the House Education and Workforce Committee took and reported votes on several bills on the agenda.

Reported bills and outcomes recorded in the committee transcript: - House Bill 5480: Vice Chair Linting moved to report with recommendation; the clerk recorded the tally in the transcript as 6 yeas, 0 nays, 4 pass. The motion prevailed. - House Bill 5810: The committee reported HB5810 with a roll-call result recorded in the transcript as 6 yeas, 4 nays; the motion prevailed. - House Bill 5819 and House Bill 5820: The transcript shows the motions to report these bills carried after roll call statements; the clerk's readouts are fragmented in places but indicate the motions prevailed. - House Bill 5821: Representative Linting presented an H‑1 substitute (moving the effective date to the 2027–28 school year and allowing locally developed, MDE-approved science-based reading curricula). The clerk called the roll on the H‑1 substitute and the transcript records the result as 9 yays, 0 nays, 1 pass; the committee then reported HB5821 as substitute H‑1 with recommendation. - House Bill 5822: The committee reported HB5822 with a roll-call result listed in the transcript as 10 yays, 0 nays; the motion prevailed.
