Senate adopts consent calendar and proceeds with routine floor business

After the ceremonial resolutions, the Senate proceeded with the daily file. Messages from the governor and the Assembly were deemed read, committee reports were deemed read and amendments adopted, and the consent calendar (items listed on the transcript) was presented and adopted by unanimous roll call.

The clerk read a list of second-reading bills and consent items. No senator requested removal of items from the consent calendar at the call; the presiding officer announced the consent calendar adopted with ayes recorded as 38 and no opposition. Committee meeting notices (Human Services and others) were announced and the presiding officer announced the Senate would recess and reconvene the next scheduled floor session.

This portion of the floor was procedural; the transcript records no contested policy debate or substantive amendments on the floor during the consent calendar vote.
