Votes Not on a Bill, 2021-2022
Every vote the House and the Senate took in the term on a question that was on no bill: its own rules, a ruling of the chair, a member allowed to go on speaking, and the rest.

The kind and the summary are the site’s, from the House and Senate Journals; where a vote’s passage could not be matched to it for certain, the row says how the General Court’s roll-call file words it (“In the record”) and nothing more. A division or a voice vote is recorded in the Journal alone: it gives the count, or not even that, and not each member’s vote. Each day leads to the vote on its session day’s page.
