Votes at a glance: executive actions and committee roll calls
The Senate Judiciary Committee recorded several formal actions during the session reflected in the transcript. Key outcomes:

House Bill 173 (concurred): A motion to concur in House Bill 173 passed in committee by roll call, 5‑3. The roll call in the record showed votes as follows: Vice Chair Ricky (yes); Vice Chair Olsen (no); Senator Emmerich (yes); Senator Manzella (yes, by proxy); Senator Newman (no); Senator Smith (no, by proxy); Senator Vinton (yes); Chair Usher (yes). The motion passed 5‑3.

House Bill 174 (amendment and final action): Committee members adopted an amendment to HB 174 (amendment H B 0174.0022.002) by roll call (vote recorded as 5‑3). A subsequent motion to concur in the bill as amended failed on a roll call (tied 4‑4) and that bill was later tabled by motion.

House Bill 416 (concurred): The committee voted to concur in House Bill 416 (the HOA permission bill). The roll call record: Vice Chair Ricky (yes); Vice Chair Olsen (no); Senator Emmerich (yes); Senator Manzella (yes, by proxy); Senator Newman (no); Senator Smith (no, by proxy); Senator Vinton (yes); Chair Usher (yes). The motion passed 5‑3.

House Bill 475 (shackling in labor; tabled): A motion to concur on HB 475 failed on a 4‑4 roll call tie; Senator Ricky then moved to table the bill and the chair announced the bill was tabled without objection.

Notes on procedure and next steps: Some committee actions proceeded by motion and roll call; other outcomes (such as tabling by unanimous consent) were handled without recorded roll‑call tallies. Several bills discussed in hearings have pending amendments or technical fixes that proponents expect to file before further committee or floor action.
