Positions are the four the committee itself records. Reserving a right is not an abstention and no action is not an absence.

House Rule 27 counts its reporting deadline from the day a bill is heard.

Date	Committee	Where	Status

Every action here is as the legislature published it. A bill that drew no recorded vote is the ordinary case: the House records roughly 150 a year.
