Votes: the transcript records voice votes on the floor for passage and ordering third readings; committee votes cited in committee reports (examples: education committee and appropriations committee votes referenced in the record) are noted in individual bill discussions. Where the transcript records committee roll-call counts (e.g., committee votes recorded in the calendar text), they are cited in the bill-specific articles.
