House moves dozens of measures: task‑force reauthorizations, concurrence votes and rules motion
Summary
On Feb. 24, 1992 the Utah House voted to pass multiple measures including reauthorizations for task forces (Senate Bills 58 and 18), concurred with Senate amendments to several House bills (HB11, HB17, HB52, HB113), and resolved procedural matters around House Joint Resolution 29 and calendar placement.
The Utah House completed a series of votes and procedural actions during its Feb. 24 floor session, advancing several Senate and House measures and taking up procedural calendar motions.
Early in the session the Clerk reported passage and transmission of Senate Bill 92. Representative Vaughn Evans moved to uncircle and adopt floor amendments for Senate Bill 58, the reauthorization of the Access to Health Care Task Force; the House adopted pink‑sheet amendments and passed the bill 60‑0. The chamber also moved and passed Senate Bill 18 (Railroad Development Task Force reauthorization) by a 62‑0 vote.
The House handled several concurrence votes after receiving messages from the Senate. Representative LeBarron explained two Senate amendments to House Bill 113 (abuse, neglect or exploitation of a disabled adult) that add a living‑will exemption for deprivation of life‑sustaining treatment and raise neglect to a third‑degree felony when serious bodily injury results; the House concurred and returned the bill to the Senate by a 65‑0 vote. The House also concurred with Senate changes to House Bill 52 (motor vehicle registration), House Bill 11 (fire prevention board filing requirement), and House Bill 17 (community impact funds), with votes recorded in the transcript.
Representative Adams and others raised and debated motions related to House Joint Resolution 29 (legislator per diem). After discussion of rules thresholds and prior reconsideration motions, the House voted to lift HJR 29 from rules and later placed it atop the third‑reading calendar under suspension with votes and procedural rulings recorded on the floor.
Representative Bishop moved for a recess for caucus and dinner during the evening, and at the end of the session moved to adjourn the House until 08:30 the following morning.
What’s next: Most of the measures passed on the floor were returned to the Senate for further action or enrollment; HJR 29 remains scheduled for third‑reading calendar placement.
