The Utah House passed House Concurrent Resolution 14 on Jan. 24, 1991, honoring the late Representative Stanley M. Smedley. Colleagues delivered personal tributes and the chamber agreed that affirmative voters would be listed as cosponsors; the clerk recorded 71 affirmative votes and no negatives.
The Utah House of Representatives on Jan. 24 passed House Concurrent Resolution 14 honoring the late Representative Stanley M. Smedley for his years of public service to Bountiful and the state.
Representative Walt Bain introduced the resolution and recounted Smedley’s community, church and civic involvement. Members from both sides of the aisle — including Representatives Behn, Fox, Birmingham, Bradshaw, Atkinson, Julander and others — offered personal recollections, describing Smedley as measured, thoughtful and able to build consensus.
Representative Lyon moved, under suspension of the rules, that members voting in the affirmative be listed as cosponsors; the motion carried. The reading clerk later announced HCR 14 had received 71 affirmative votes and 0 negative votes, and the resolution will be forwarded to the Senate.
The resolution text memorializes Smedley’s service on local civic boards and notes his two completed terms in the Utah House and reelection to a third term prior to his passing. Family members in the gallery — identified during floor remarks — were recognized by the chamber.
