Where it stands
House: PASSED/ADOPTED WITH AMENDMENT
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.

Committee reports
Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.
Committee — OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT
Although some of Charlie Kirk’s public statements were thought by some to be provocative or controversial, committee members all agreed that there was value in promoting communication with one another while undertaking difficult conversations. Thus, the bipartisan, unanimous sentiment was that this resolution involves more than just the subject individual himself. Rather, this resolution, as amended, emphasizes our traditional affirmation that political violence, particularly politically motivated assassination, should not be condoned in our state, or any state. This theme resonated with all committee members. Vote 16-0.
