Floor actions reported in the history
The imported roll calls do not cover every legislative decision. The source history can report a full House or Senate reading even when a complete member-by-member roll call is missing. These entries preserve that report; they do not fill in unrecorded individual votes.
No third- or final-reading outcome is reported in this imported history. This does not establish that no floor action occurred.
