Where it stands
House: PASSED/ADOPTED WITH AMENDMENT · Senate: INTERIM STUDY
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.
In practice this often ends a bill's progress for the term.
