Votes and Actions at a Glance: Key Measures Concurred and Passed by the Senate

The Louisiana Senate recorded votes and procedural actions on a long list of bills and resolutions during the May 20 session. Several measures were concurred in or passed with unanimous or near-unanimous tallies on the machine, while others were sent to conference or rejected for further negotiation.

Selected floor actions and recorded tallies included (floor-recorded counts are as announced by the clerk): adoption of SCR 76 (adopted, 33 ayes, 0 nays), concurrence in SB 54 (36 yays, 0 nays), concurrence in SB 72 (35 yays, 0 nays), and final passage on a range of House bills (multiple bills recorded with 32–36 yays by the clerk). Several local and technical bills were passed with limited debate; some matters (for example, PBM reform amendments to SB 387) were rejected and sent to conference for resolution.

Why it matters: the session’s recorded votes show which measures advanced without substantive floor controversy and which items require additional negotiation or conference committee work. Citizens and stakeholders should consult the enrolled bills and committee reports for text-level details and fiscal notes that were not read on the floor.
