Senate passes multiple bills and grants unanimous consent to message them; caucus announcements follow
Summary
After passing several bills (including House Files 25 43, 23 45, 26 80, 22 53 and 25 91), the Senate granted unanimous consent to immediately message the measures to the House. Senators also announced party caucuses in Rooms 24 (Democrats) and 22 (Republicans on Appropriations).
Following multiple final-pass votes, Senator Klemish asked unanimous consent to immediately message House File 25 43, House File 23 45, and House File 26 80; the chair ordered it so. Later the senator called up additional measures (House File 22 53 and House File 25 91) and the Senate again approved messaging. After floor business, Senator Weiner announced a Democratic caucus in Room 24 and noted Republicans on the Appropriations Committee would caucus in Room 22.
The session proceeded in standard order with the secretary reading titles and the Senate recording roll-call votes for each final passage. The transcript shows orderly consideration of multiple agenda items, adoption of conforming amendments and substitutions as appropriate, and unanimous-consent messaging steps to transmit the passed House files to the next procedural step.
