House waives debate on several bills, circles multiple measures and adjourns
Summary
On the floor the House passed two bills and moved several others to be 'circled' for further work; committee vote reports were read for multiple bills and the House adjourned until the next morning.
The Utah House on the floor advanced several items in a short session: two bills were passed and multiple bills were "circled" — removed from the immediate calendar for further work or amendment.
The clerk announced passage of House Bill 4 12 (see related coverage) and House Bill 156, with the clerk reporting '69 yes votes and 0 no votes' for HB 156. Several other measures were formally set aside (circled) for additional work:
- Representative Brian R. Allen moved to circle House Bill 145 ("Schools for the 21st Century"); the committee report read on the floor recorded a committee vote of '5 yes, 4 no, 3 absent.' - Representative Dave Hogg moved to circle House Bill 139 (surveys in public school); the committee report on the floor recorded '7 yes, 2 no, 3 absent.' - Representative Short moved to circle House Bill 393 (new school buildings maintenance and operation costs) and later moved to circle House Bill 371 (taxing authority); both motions carried. - House Bill 376 (bail reform), associated on the floor with Greg K. Curtis, was circled 'for the purpose of working out some amendments.'
Floor members were also reminded to submit 'master study resolution' request forms by the next evening. The House then approved an adjournment motion and set the next convening for 8 a.m. the following day.
The transcript does not record detailed debate on the circled bills; committee vote totals reported on the floor were presented as read from committee reports.
