During the Feb. 14 floor session the Utah House processed a number of consent and procedural items, recorded votes on several bills, and placed additional measures on the reading calendars.
Key roll-call and recorded votes and procedural actions taken on the floor include:
- House Bill 205 (right of eviction to proceeds of criminals): Reading clerk presented HB 205 and sponsor Representative Bradshaw explained it would close a loophole and direct proceeds from media/book/TV payments to the Crime Victims' Reparations Fund rather than to the offender. HB 205 received 59 affirmative votes and 0 negative votes and passed the House.
- House Bill 223 (Victims Reparations technical amendments): HB 223 was presented and explained by Representative Bradshaw; the House recorded 58 affirmative votes, 0 negative votes and passed the bill.
- House Bill 225 (offender's income and expenses): HB 225 passed the House with a 56–2 recorded vote.
- House Bill 215 (State Superfund amendments): As described elsewhere, HB 215 was amended on the floor (pink sheet) and passed 63–0.
- House Bill 75 (Alternative Dispute Resolution providers): Debated at length; passed 63–7.
Procedural placements and motions included placing several Senate and House bills on third-reading or consent calendars (for example, SB 90, HB 163 and HB 264 were shifted to the rules committee or third-reading calendars as indicated), and the House adopted motions to 'circle' (hold) House Bill 237 and House Bill 247.
Several committee reports were adopted earlier in the session and transmissions from the Senate listing multiple bills were entered into the record. The House adjourned for caucus at the end of the morning and scheduled reconvening for 10:00 a.m. the following day.
