House handles transmittals, passes House Bill 203 and places Senate Bill 53 for reconsideration
Summary
Clerk announced several Senate bills transmitted to the House; the House amended and passed House Bill 203 (62–5) and moved to reconsider Senate Bill 53 (Governmental Immunity Act), placing it atop the third‑reading calendar.
The House opened with multiple communications from the Senate, and the clerk read a series of transmittals including Senate Bills 178, 146, 138, 84, 165, 129, 189 and others for referral to committee and further House action.
On the floor the House adopted an amendment to a committee report affecting Purple Heart license plates and then voted on House Bill 203 as amended. The House recorded 62 affirmative votes and 5 negative votes; the bill passed and was forwarded to the Senate.
Later, members debated whether to reconsider Senate Bill 53 (Governmental Immunity Act expansion). Representative Stevens said he planned focused amendments to narrow language he said had been misunderstood. The motion to reconsider passed and the bill was placed atop the third‑reading calendar so amendments could be drafted and distributed.
Other floor items included recognition of visiting students (Kearns High School debate team) and routine procedural business before adjournment to caucus.
