Summary
The Senate Transportation Interim Committee voted by voice vote to approve minutes from Sept. 16 and adopted two committee drafts — road jurisdiction amendments and minor driving-hours amendments — each with a favorable recommendation for a committee bill file; motions passed by unanimous voice vote.
The Senate Transportation Interim Committee completed three formal motions by voice vote during the meeting.
Approval of minutes: Senator Winderton moved approval of the Sept. 16 minutes. The committee adopted the minutes by unanimous voice vote.
Road jurisdiction amendments: Representative Kristofferson moved that the committee adopt the drafted legislation titled “Road Jurisdiction Amendments” as a committee bill and favorably recommend it. Committee discussion confirmed the measure clarifies endpoints of two existing state routes in Utah County and does not transfer roads between jurisdictions. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote; Representative Kristofferson and a House sponsor (floor sponsor) will carry the bill.
Minor driving-hours amendments: Representative Kristofferson moved that the committee adopt the 2026 draft legislation titled “Minor Driving Hours Amendments” as a committee bill and favorably recommend it. The draft clarifies who qualifies as an adult supervisor for learner permits (adding stepparents and foster parents to the definition of “parent” for the section) and includes technical cleanup; Representative Kristofferson moved the favorable recommendation and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote. Representative Colford is the House sponsor announced for the measure.
The committee took no recorded roll-call tallies; voice votes were unanimous as announced by the chair. No other formal committee actions or final floor votes on bills occurred in the meeting.
