The journal records 10 members as having leave of the House for the day, that is, permission to be away. A member on leave may still have voted on part of the day, and the roll call record does not always agree with the journal about who was excused.

Rep. John L. Balcom (R - Hills 18) Rep. Edward Butler (D - Carr 7) Rep. John Fothergill (R - Coos 1) Rep. William Friel (R - Rock 14) Rep. Laurie Sanborn (R - Hills 2) Rep. Peter Silva Rep. Tammy Simmons Rep. Thomas Southworth (D - Straf 11) Rep. Kermit Williams (D - Hills 4) Rep. Warren Groen (R - Straf 10)
