The Senate committee of the whole met Feb. 20 and took up a series of bills, adopting amendments to several measures and reporting multiple bills to later stages of the legislative process.

Bills the committee took up and reported as amended included House Bill 13 (as amended), Senate Bill 10‑31 (as amended), Senate Bill 10‑46 (as amended), Senate Bill 10‑71 (as amended), Senate Bill 10‑23 (as amended), Senate Bill 10‑34 (as amended), and Senate Bill 10‑87 (as amended). The committee adopted the amendments and reported those bills "as amended without recommendation," then returned to the full Senate, which adopted the committee report and referred the amended bills to the Judiciary and Rules Committee for engrossing or printing as appropriate.

Other measures retained their place on the fourteenth order and were not advanced, including House Bill 6, Senate Bill 10‑07, Senate Joint Resolution 101, Senate Bill 10‑66, Senate Bill 10‑80 and House Bill 41. Several measures were later filed for second reading on the Senate calendar. The transcript records motions and seconds for committee actions and reflects voice vote outcomes—"ayes have it"—but does not include roll‑call vote tallies for these committee decisions.

The committee work encompassed a mix of policy topics, ranging from public‑health district authority and education instruction requirements to medical records and foster‑care licensing. Where amendments were technical or procedural, sponsors described them as consistency or clarifying changes; where amendments altered programmatic requirements (for example, foster‑care rules and firearm storage), debate occurred on the floor before adoption.

The committee report was adopted by the full Senate and many amended bills were referred to the appropriate committees or to the second reading calendar for further consideration.
