Most actions reported to the committee came via subcommittee recommendations; the committee used voice and roll votes to adopt subcommittee reports. Several bills were forwarded to other standing committees for subject‑matter review rather than being advanced in full committee. Where the transcript recorded a roll call, the vote tallies above match the announced results.
