(1) "Referred to Committee" Status: This is ONLY used if the legislation passed and no other vote has taken place in the opposing chamber. For example, if we selected the Senate Passage and the House has not voted on it, but the bill is listed as having been referred to the House Appropriations Committee, then the Referred to Committee status should be listed. ONLY include this status if the bill history specifies both when it was submitted to the committee and to what committee it was referred to. Once the opposing chamber has voted on the legislation, the Referred to Committee status will be removed from the summary sheet and replaced by that vote. For example, if we selected the House Passage of a bill, we wouldn't have both Referred to Committee and Senate Passage with Amendment listed under the "Other Statuses for Web" headline. When listing the Referred to Committee Status, always note which committee the legislation has been referred to.

(2) Up-or-Down Votes on Passage of the Legislation: This includes any of the following stages, regardless of the chamber, that are specified in the bill history:

Also, if a chamber reconsiders any of the above votes, you must list BOTH the original stage and the reconsideration stage. Just remember to include a reconsideration note.

(3) Procedural Votes: Various procedural votes, particularly motion votes, can be included in the "other statuses for web" section, provided that we either (1) selected the vote for coverage, or (2) we need to include it in order to provide an understandable bill history. The procedural votes are limited to one of the following:

(4) Governor's Action: This is limited to the one of the following:
