- House Bill 3 98 (transparency/lobbying): Passed House (final vote reported on floor) — see separate coverage for debate and roll call (54 ayes, 14 nays, 2 absent/excused). Transmitted to the Senate. (Detailed coverage above.)
- House Bill 4 15 (energy/transmission governance): Passed House 46 ayes, 23 nays, 1 abstention. Transmitted to the Senate.
- Senate Bill 11 33 (agriculture protection area technical cleanup): Passed House (voice/roll call reported) — recorded as 50 ayes, 18 nays, 2 absent/excused. Transmitted to the Senate.
- Senate Bill 11 75 (Department of Corrections budget): Passed House 42 ayes, 27 nays, 1 absent/excused. Transmitted for further processing.
- Senate Bill 11 77 (Division of Building Safety funding): Passed House 42 ayes, 26 nays, 2 absent/excused. Transmitted to the Senate.
- Senate Bill 11 78 (Commission on Aging one-time federal funds): Passed House 39 ayes, 28 nays, 3 absent/excused. Transmitted to the Senate.
- Senate Bill 11 41 (camping/encampments enforcement): Passed House 59 ayes, 10 nays, 1 absent/excused. Transmitted to the Senate.
Procedural notes: The House also received and read multiple messages from the governor and the Senate about enrolled bills and resolutions, and committees reported various printed and enrolled bills for calendars and engrossing; the clerk recorded roll-call tallies for the votes shown above.
What this means: Bills that passed the House will proceed according to the legislative process — transmission to the Senate, further committee review, final enrollment and, where applicable, the governor’s signature. For bills passed unanimously or with large margins and little floor debate, the House’s action moves them on to the Senate; bills with close margins or significant floor debate may see further amendment or scrutiny in the other chamber.
