- SB 1566 (residential construction provisions): passed, recorded 31 ayes, 21 nays, 8 not voting.
Failed (selected):
- SB 1006 (campaign contributions/disclosure thresholds): failed, recorded 29 ayes, 22 nays, 9 not voting; Representative Marquez explained his 'no' vote, saying increasing disclosure thresholds reduces transparency.
- SB 1099 (civil actions provision): failed decisively, recorded 8 ayes, 43 nays, 9 not voting after extended floor debate about free‑speech protections and liability.
- SB 1635 (escape and related offenses): failed, recorded 29 ayes, 23 nays, 8 not voting.
Why it matters: The mix of passes and failures affects a broad set of policy areas—elections administration, mental health court procedures, public safety retirement rules, renewable energy incentives, initiative and referendum changes, and construction regulation. Several votes were lopsided while others reflected closer party‑line divisions.
What’s next: Bills that passed will be conveyed to the Senate or the governor as appropriate; bills that failed may be subject to motions to reconsider or amendment in subsequent sessions.
