}The Senate journal does not record who spoke for or against a motion, so this is the vote record without the debate.
Presiding over the Senate during the day: Sen. Thomas Eaton (R - SD10).
The record does not say what order these came in: the journal page is cited on only a few of them, so they are listed by bill.
