"The “open carry” measure, which passed without a vote to spare, 41-25, now goes to the Senate"

Can someone explain this sentence to me? It barely passed but it had a 16 vote margin. How is that passing without a vote to spare???

Must have needed 60% to pass, which would mean it needed 41 votes out of 66.
