The 2023 1st Special Session of the Utah Senate convened on May 17, 2023, to address key appointments made by the governor. The primary agenda item focused on a motion to consent to these appointments, which was presented by a Senate member.

The motion was put to a roll call vote, where Senators were called individually to express their approval or disapproval. The voting process included Senators Andrick, Blewin, Bramble, Buxton, Colomore, Escamilla, Filmore, Grover, Harper, Hankins, Ipsen, Johnson, Kennedy, Kwan, McKay, Michell, Milner, Pitcher, Plum, Reby, Sandal, Stevenson, Thatcher, Vickers, Robert, Wyler, Wilson, and Winterton.

The outcome of the vote revealed a strong consensus among the Senators, with 24 votes in favor and none against. Four Senators were absent during the voting. President Adams confirmed the results, stating that the Senate had consented to the governor's appointments.

This meeting underscored the Senate's role in the appointment process and demonstrated a unified support for the governor's selections. The next steps following this consent will likely involve the appointed individuals assuming their respective roles, contributing to the state's governance.
