The following is a list of House and Senate Roll Call Votes on this bill. The votes are listed in the order of the legislative day in which the vote was taken. The last two roll call votes normally will show the final status of the bill.

In order for a bill to "pass" it must acheive a Constitutional Majority in both the House and the Senate on th exact same version of the bill. This is why you will see more than two votes on many bills. If either body ammends (adds to) a bill, the vote must be re-taken in both houses.

A "Constitutional Majority" requires that greater than 1/2 of ALL legislators in a body must vote yea. Not just a majority of those present. In the house, this requires a total of 48 votes and in the senate, this requires a total of 24 votes
