Where it stands
Senate: PASSED/ADOPTED WITH AMENDMENT
2 of the floor votes on this bill were voice or division votes, which do not record how individual legislators voted.
House committees sometimes retain a bill to keep working on it, and sometimes as a quiet way to end it.
A retained bill stays with the committee into the second year of the term. Sometimes that means more work is planned, and sometimes it is a quiet ending.
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.
