SALT LAKE CITY — Routine floor business in the Utah House on Feb. 3 included adoption of multiple committee reports, placement of bills on third‑reading and consent calendars, recognition of cultural-industry visitors and student groups, and a rules-committee report assigning bills to standing committees.
Committee chairs reported favorable recommendations from Judiciary, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment, and Transportation committees. The House adopted the committee reports by voice votes and placed several bills on the bottom of the third-reading calendar and on the consent calendar as recorded in the transcript.
Representative Moss recognized attendees on Cultural Industry Advocacy Day, citing the industry’s economic impact: “The cultural industry generated $6,800,000,000 in gross domestic product, 2.6% of our total statewide GDP and directly supported 69,000 jobs,” she said, and invited colleagues to visit the rotunda exhibition.
The Rules Committee issued an assignment report Feb. 4 directing numerous bills to standing committees; Representative Tesher moved adoption of that report and the House approved it. Committee placements noted in the transcript included bills assigned to business, labor and commerce; economic development and workforce services; education; government operations; health and human services; judiciary; law enforcement and criminal justice; natural resources; political subdivisions; and transportation.
The floor also recognized visiting student groups from several high schools and middle schools. The House recessed to caucus and scheduled an afternoon return at 2 p.m., as recorded in the transcript.
