The Utah Senate convened on February 1, 2024, to discuss key legislative matters, including the reading of House Bill 74 and House Bill 11. The session began with a motion to read House Bill 74 for the third time, which received overwhelming support, passing with 28 votes in favor and none against. One senator was absent during the vote.

Following the vote on House Bill 74, Senator Ballouin requested to be counted as an affirmative vote on House Bill 11, which was also met with no objections from the body. This indicates a collaborative atmosphere among the senators regarding these legislative measures.

As the meeting progressed, Senator Vickers announced upcoming events, including a reception hosted by the Salt Lake Chamber and a dinner by the Utah Cultural Alliance at the Capitol Theatre from 6 to 8 PM. Notably, Senator Vickers is set to receive a significant award during the dinner, although he modestly refrained from discussing it further.

The session concluded with a motion to adjourn until 11 AM the following day, marking the end of a productive afternoon focused on advancing key legislative initiatives.
