The Senate journal does not record who spoke for or against a motion, so this is the vote record without the debate.

Excused for the Day

Show the 1 senator excusedRepublican 1

The journal records 1 senator as excused by the Senate for the day, that is, permission to be away. A senator excused for the day may still have voted on part of it, and the roll call record does not always agree with the journal about who was excused.

Sen. Kevin Avard (R - SD12)

What the Senate Did That Day
