Part 3/6:
The proceedings moved forward with a roll call vote on SB4. The Senate, after deliberation, voted 19 in favor, 2 against, and 9 members were absent. The bill, which pertains to the redistricting process for electing members of the U.S. House of Representatives from Texas, was thus passed with a clear majority.
The vote was indicated by members signaling their support or opposition, after which the chair suspended rules and laid the bill on second reading. The Senate then proceeded to read the caption of SB4 aloud, formalizing the legislative record of the bill's progress.
