}The Senate journal does not record who spoke for or against a motion, so this is the vote record without the debate.
The journal records 2 senators 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. Mark McConkey (R - SD3) Sen. Denise Ricciardi (R - SD9)
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.
