House floor actions: committee reports, referrals and calendar placements
Summary
The House adopted committee reports, placed multiple bills on calendars, received communications from the Senate about SB17 and SB99, and entered dozens of bills and concurrent resolutions into the journal for committee assignment or calendar placement.
During the Feb. 1 floor session, the Utah House recorded multiple committee reports and routine floor actions.
Madam Reading Clerk announced Senate communications indicating Senate concurrence in House amendments to Senate Bill 17 (criminal background checks for school personnel) and passage of Senate Bill 99 (assignment of life insurance to charities); SB17 was signed by the speaker for transmittal. Committees reported favorably on multiple measures (including House Bill 76, House Bill 140 and others) and the House voted to adopt those committee reports by voice vote, placing several bills on third or other calendars for further consideration.
A long list of introduced measures was read into the record and assigned as appropriate (examples include HB248 Uniform Controlled Substance Act amendments; HB249 administrative law judge qualifications; HB250 Public Transit District Act Amendment; HB252 Homoplastic Medical Practices Act; HB254 circuit court service fees; HB256 prohibiting [text redacted in transcript]; and HCRs 28 and 29). Several committee reports noted placement on third green calendar or referral to rules committee.
Procedural notes: SB9 (Utah Occupational Disease Act) was returned to the Senate to receive a missing fiscal note; the speaker explained returning it was required by the House rules. The House also used 'circle' (a 24‑hour hold) and 'uncircle' procedural motions on several bills as scheduling adjustments were made.
These floor actions were largely procedural and involved many bills being scheduled for committee consideration or calendar placement rather than final passage on the floor.
