Votes at a glance: key House bills considered by the Utah Senate on March 6, 2025
Summary
The Senate acted on a large number of House bills on March 6, passing many by suspension of the rules. This roundup lists each bill acted on on the second-reading and concurrence calendars and records the outcome and any vote tallies announced on the floor.
The Utah Senate considered a long second-reading calendar on March 6 and took action on numerous House bills. Where the clerk recorded roll-call tallies on the floor, they are noted below. Where the transcript did not include a floor tally in the excerpt, the outcome is recorded as "passed" or "returned to the House" when the clerk explicitly said so.
Notable floor outcomes (selected):
- First substitute House Bill 534 (Adult Protective Services Amendments): Passed (27-0, 2 absent) and returned to the House for further consideration. - Third substitute House Bill 54 (Cannabinoid and hemp/cannabis amendments): Passed (25-0, 4 absent); returned to House. - Second substitute House Bill 261 (Towing Modifications): Passed (27-0, 2 absent); returned to House. - Second substitute House Bill 333 (Medications in Schools Amendments): Passed (24-0, 5 absent); returned to House. - Fourth substitute House Bill 198 (Highway expansion/signage): Passed (25-1, 3 absent); returned to House. - Second substitute House Bill 217 (Homeowners Association Amendments): Passed (27-0, 2 absent); returned to House. - Second substitute House Bill 322 (Child Actor Regulations): Passed (27-0, 2 absent); returned to House. - Fourth substitute House Bill 442 (Construction Trades Licensing Amendments, conference report adopted): Passed (26-0, 3 absent); returned to House. - First substitute House Bill 346 (Department of Agriculture and Food Amendments): Passed (28-0, 1 absent); returned to House. - First substitute House Bill 430 (Security and Land Restriction Amendments re: restricted foreign entities/delivery dead zone): Passed (28-0, 1 absent); returned to House. - First substitute House Bill 479 (Intercollegiate athletic NIL and abusive coaching policies): Passed (25-0, 4 absent); returned to House. - Third substitute House Bill 311 (Watershed amendments): Passed (21-4, 4 absent); returned to House.
Other bills were placed at the bottom of the second-reading calendar or circled for fiscal notes; those included many items the clerk read into the record (complete calendar listing of bills read onto the second-reading calendar was captured in the transcript). When not explicitly read with tallies in the recorded excerpt, items are noted as "placed on calendar" or "circled" as the clerk indicated.
Ending: Many House bills were moved, substituted, circled for fiscal-note timing, or passed under suspension of the rules during the March 6 Senate session. Bills that passed will be returned to the House for any remaining steps in the legislative process.
