The Senate Committee on Nominations took recorded votes April 14 to send several gubernatorial nominees to the full Senate and held one nomination for separate consideration.

Senator Carol Alvarado moved to sever the nomination of Douglas McCregan from the posted list; the committee proceeded to vote on the remaining nominees and the clerk called the roll. Committee members recorded "ayes" during the roll call and the clerk announced, "There being 7 ayes and 0 nays, the Senate Committee on Nomination recommends that the full Senate confirm the non severed nominees." The committee then voted separately on Douglas McCregan. The clerk announced, "There being 5 ayes and 2 nays," and the committee recommended that the full Senate confirm the severed nominee.

The committee did not record a committee rationale for severing McCregan on the public record during the hearing; one senator asked for the rationale but was told to discuss the matter privately.

What the committee did:
- Motion to sever nominee Douglas McCregan from the April 14 posted list (moved by Senator Alvarado).
- Motion to report the remaining nominees to the full Senate (moved by Vice Chair Hagenboom); committee reported those nominees to the full Senate by roll-call vote (committee announced 7 ayes, 0 nays).
- Motion to report the severed nominee Douglas McCregan to the full Senate; committee announced 5 ayes, 2 nays and recommended confirmation.

Disposition: The committee recommended that the full Senate consider the reported nominees. All committee actions were recorded as recommendations to the full Senate; final confirmation rests with the full Senate.
