Votes at a glance: Legislature adopts committee reports, confirms appointees and passes multiple bills on final reading
The Nebraska Legislature adopted committee reports and completed final reading on numerous bills spanning public health, retirement, education, public safety and housing. Committee reports confirming gubernatorial appointees were adopted by voice vote as recorded by the clerk, and multiple bills were passed by roll‑call votes recorded in the transcript.

Confirmations and committee reports adopted included the Health and Human Services Committee report recommending Dr. Michaela Brockhouse for appointment to the Nebraska Rural Health Advisory Commission (clerk recorded 39 ayes, no nays) and the Retirement Systems Committee report recommending Thomas Darje to the Public Employees Retirement Board (clerk recorded 43 ayes, no nays). The General Affairs Committee report recommending the reappointment of Dennis P. Lee and the appointment of Antonio Gomez to the Racing and Gaming Commission was also adopted (clerk recorded 39 ayes, no nays).

On final reading the clerk recorded roll‑call votes on dozens of bills. Examples recorded in the transcript include:

- LB 737 — Passed (clerk recorded 47 ayes, 1 nay, 1 excused).
- LB 753 — Passed (clerk recorded 48 ayes, 0 nays, 1 excused).
- LB 784 — Passed (clerk recorded 45 ayes, 0 nays).
- LB 913 — Passed (clerk recorded 48 ayes, 0 nays, 1 excused).
- LB 952 (with emergency clause) — Passed (roll‑call recorded on the floor).
- LB 721 (intergenerational care facility incentive grant program) — Passed (clerk recorded vote in transcript).

(Transcript contains vote tallies and titles for many additional bills on final reading; the clerk’s readouts in the record should be consulted for the official roll‑call wording and full vote counts.)

The floor also recorded a motion to recommit LB 8 34 with AM 3142; that motion was debated extensively but the transcript does not show a final recorded disposition for the recommit motion or the amendment during the provided excerpt. The Legislature recessed at the end of the recorded sequence.
