The Senate considered and advanced many measures during the floor session, including committee bills, technical fixes, and program extensions. Most actions were decided by roll-call vote; the clerk announced tallies on the floor for each final passage or third-reading request.
Key roll-call outcomes recorded on the floor included:
- First substitute Senate Bill 100 (paid-leave modifications): sponsor Senator Weiler moved final passage and the bill passed. Fiscal note on the floor: "$1,750,000." (floor presentation)
- Senate Bill 90 (tax administration amendments): Senator Harper explained clarifying changes and the bill passed with 25 yay, 0 nay, 4 absent.

- Additional committee bills and technical measures (HB14, HB16, HB30, HB37, HB42, HB43, HB44, HB50, HB24 and others) were also advanced on roll-call; most reported tallies show unanimous or near-unanimous support and were recorded with the clerk’s announcements.
What this means: many statewide advisory councils and program sunsets were extended or had their statutory language adjusted; several bills will now move to the House for consideration or proceed through third-reading steps.
Next steps: the clerk will transmit passed Senate measures to the House when appropriate and the Senate reconvenes at the scheduled time.
