House clears wide consent calendar; bills passed include hospital trust fund, tire recycling and grand jury reforms
Summary
On Feb. 7, 1990 the Utah House moved a large consent calendar and approved multiple bills on first/third reading or by voice vote, including SB 85 (State Hospital Trust Fund), Second Substitute SB 5 (tire recycling), SB 27 (grand jury reform) and others; several bills were also referred to committees or the Senate.
The Utah House processed a substantial consent calendar on Feb. 7, 1990, approving a string of bills with brief floor presentations and recorded votes or voice votes.
Representative Franson described Senate Bill 85 as creating a trust fund to receive and account for private contributions to the State Hospital; the House voted and the bill passed with recorded affirmative votes and was signed by the Speaker for journal notation. Representative Opper presented Second Substitute Senate Bill 5 (recycling waste tires), answering a sponsor question about a collector reimbursement (2.5% of funds collected; 2.5¢ per small tire, 5¢ per large tire); the House recorded the vote (56 affirmative, 11 negative) and the bill was returned to the Senate. Other bills passed on the calendar included SB 27 (grand jury reform), SB 34 (uninsured employers fund), SB 47 (juvenile court filing amendments), and multiple education and administrative measures.
Several bills were referred to standing committees for further consideration, and a small number were circled for later action because of fiscal notes or other procedural issues. Representative Bishop moved and the House reconsidered or returned certain fiscal‑note bills to Rules as required by internal thresholds.
