Senate Votes: HB 2, 3, 4

Ok. I’m pretty happy with the way that TLO’s vote information thingy has worked so far.

For the Senate (since I’ve already covered most of the major House votes, I’m concentrating on the upper chamber), you click on the link for recorded votes (I’m using the method where you search for votes by day, not by bill) and it takes you directly to the page of the Senate Journal (in .pdf format) that has the vote and how the Senators voted.

Via this link, here’s the final vote on HB 2:

Senator Williams moved to suspend the regular order of business to take up for consideration CSHB2 at this time on its third reading and final passage:

CSHB 2, Relating to the allocation of certain revenue from franchise taxes, motor vehicle sales and use taxes, and taxes on cigarettes and other tobacco products to school district property tax relief and public education.
The motion prevailed by the following vote: Yeas 21, Nays 10.
Yeas:Armbrister, Averitt, Brimer, Carona, Deuell, Duncan, Eltife, Estes, Fraser, Harris, Jackson, Janek, Lindsay, Madla, Nelson, Ogden, Seliger, Shapiro, Staples, Wentworth, Williams.
Nays:Barrientos, Ellis, Gallegos, Hinojosa, Lucio, Shapleigh, Van de Putte, West, Whitmire, Zaffirini.
The bill was read third time and was passed by the following vote: Yeas 21, Nays 10. (Same as previous roll call)

Via this link, here’s the final vote on HB 3 in the Senate:
