The Senate Committee on Business & Commerce voted to report a number of bills favorably to the full Senate, adopting committee substitutes and sending measures to local or contested calendars.

The action began in the committee's opening minutes, when the chair announced pending business and moved a slate of bills for favorable report. The clerk called the roll on several motions to adopt committee substitutes and to report in lieu thereof, and the committee recorded bipartisan roll-call tallies for each measure.

Notable results recorded in the committee transcript included: Senate Bill 21 39 (reported 7–0), committee substitute for Senate Bill 26 10 (adopted; 8–0), committee substitute for Senate Bill 18 56 (adopted; 9–0), committee substitute for Senate Bill 25 30 (adopted; 9–0 reported as 10–0 in the transcript), committee substitute for Senate Bill 28 58 (reported 6 ayes, 4 nays), committee substitute for Senate Bill 30 16 (reported 6 ayes, 4 nays), and committee substitute for Senate Bill 24 01 (adopted 10–0).

Committee members recorded votes by name during the roll calls. The chair read each name and recorded "aye" or "nay" as the clerk took the roll. Where recorded in the transcript, the committee used unanimous-consent language to adopt some substitutes without extended debate; other substitutes were adopted after a roll-call vote.

The committee then moved from the procedural slate to the day's posted business, opening hearings and public testimony on individual bills. Several bills were left pending after testimony and will return to the committee for further action.

Votes-at-glance lists measures the committee reported during the session; most of these measures were reported with committee substitutes adopted in lieu of the filed bills.
