BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS: VOTES (2008)

NOTES:

  • All VOTES are recorded in the format of xx/xx/xx, representing votes of AYE (yes)/ NAY (no)/ PRESENT (not voting). Senate rules permit a senator to change a vote, if done in a timely manner and if the outcome of the bill or resolution is not changed. I record the vote as immediately announced. A changed vote rarely might make the final vote slightly different than presented herein, but the outcome is unchanged.
  • I am the prime sponsor, co-prime sponsor, or co-sponsor of any bill written in RED FONT COLOR
  • In previous years, I presented a brief abstract of the bill or resolution, some of which are many pages long with complicated provisions and exceptions. This brief abstract was intended for information purposes only, not as a detailed summary of the provisions contained in any bill or resolution following amendments and, possibly, conference committee to resolve Senate-House differences. This year, I present a link to the General Assembly's Website. Click on this link (UNDERLINED bill or resolution number) and read the text of the bill and amendments, fiscal note, bill history, and other pertinent information.
