The Utah House took recorded votes on multiple measures during the Feb. 20, 1990 floor session. Highlights below are based on floor announcements and journal entries recorded in open session.
- House Bill 441 (as amended): Passed, 52 affirmative, 18 negative (announced on the floor).

- Senate Bill 279 (Attorney General collections / allow AG to retain share of collections above threshold): Passed, 68 affirmative, 0 negative (announced on the floor).
- Additional bills passed or advanced (vote tallies recorded in the journal or announced on the floor): SB252 (appropriations/funding amendments) — initial machine tally showed 39 yes but a recorded correction indicated 40 yes (the chair said the record was corrected); SB9 (injured-worker reforms) — passage announced in the record; SB235 (Health Data Committee) and SB255 (waste-management amendments) were discussed and transacted on the calendar with results entered in the journal.
Procedural notes: the chamber addressed several motions to "circle" or "uncircle" bills (procedural holds), managed discrepancies in machine vote tallies with manual recounts or corrections, and routinely returned bills to the Senate after concurrence or signature notations were recorded. For bills where the floor announced an initial machine count and a later correction (SB252), the chair stated the corrected individual vote record would govern the journal entry.
