You are correct, i edited the post. It was 8-2

All the news stories that claim 8-0 are wrong, including

The chairman called two votes. The first one came at the opening of the hearing BEFORE any testimony to accept the chairman's amendments. That passed with the help of Republicans and was a rude slap to the entire point of a hearing (voting BEFORE testimony?).

The second vote (8-2) was to pass the bill as amended out of committee. The chairman did not allow Wiener to pull the bill. Several Dems who voted for the final vote say that they did so so the bill would survive, not because they approved of the amendments.

  That passed with the help of Republicans
No, it didn't. It didn't even need a single Republican vote. It's recorded right on the public leginfo site.

Could you copy and explain the relevant part from the leginfo site please? I don't really know what to look for.

Just pull up a given Bill and click on the Votes tab.
