Procedural notes Most of these actions passed by voice vote and many were advanced with do-pass recommendations or to the 14th Order of Business for potential amendment. Where roll-call tallies were not recorded, the committee minutes list voice votes and, in a few cases, identify an individual senator as recorded nay.
