Result
Failed, as the official record marks it

The General Assembly's site doesn't publish the separate roll calls on emergency clauses. This one comes from the House Journal (page 3657 of the PDF), which names each member under how they voted. The bill failed on the vote just before this one, so the Journal records the emergency clause as not adopted, whatever its count.
