Entries record the proceedings of the Council, or Senate, and the House as well as any joint sessions. Both houses follow a similar standard order of daily business. The place and date is entered, there is note of the call to order and roll, a prayer, then the daily legislative business, reading of minutes, adjournment, and a closing benediction. While the activities are noted, details are not. The beginning day of each session usually lists the members answering to roll call, thereafter the entries just specify if a quorom is present.
Legislative business is only slightly more detailed.
The process of enacting legislation via bills and resolutions are the most frequent business recorded. The names of individuals motioning for these actions are recorded, but names on final votes are not. Original bills are mentioned by number, proceeded by H.F. for House file, C.F. for Council file, or J.S.F. for Joint Session file, depending on where they were introduced. The election of senate officers is recorded as is the election by joint session of officials from notary, to county probate judge, to regents. The appointment of house and senate committees is common at the beginning of each session, with the name of the committee and its members recorded.
