Committee on Committees approves interim committee assignments unanimously

The Committee on Committees approved a slate of interim committee assignments by unanimous voice vote after an unnamed senator moved to place a group of senators on standing panels.

An unnamed senator rose and said, “Mister chair, I move the following senators to the following committees,” and then read a list of committee memberships for interim placement. The list, read aloud to the panel, assigned senators to committees including Lehi IT; ledge audit; children, families, health and human services; economic affairs; education; energy; law and justice; local government; revenue; state administration; state, tribal; transportation; water policy; and future fisheries.

Senator Kastmeyer thanked committee members and those who assisted in preparing the slate, saying the group had put work and thought into the assignments and describing the resulting list as a good slate. The chair then called for the question and invited a voice vote; members responded “aye,” and the chair declared the motion passed unanimously.

The committee completed its stated business and adjourned shortly after the vote.

Notes on source material: the committee proceeded by formal motion, reading, and a voice vote; the transcript supplies the membership names as read to the committee but includes several garbled or inconsistent spellings of individual names and committee titles, which are reported here exactly as read in the record.
