House floor roundup: resolutions, committee reports and scheduling
Summary
On the floor the House approved H.J.R. 25 urging the governor's task force on business closures, referred numerous bills to third reading calendars, substituted H.B. 218 (horse regulation), and introduced H.J.R. 33 on imported hazardous waste regulation before recessing to 2 p.m.
Beyond the detailed debates on H.B. 254 and H.B. 257, the House handled several routine and scheduling actions.
Representative Norm Nielsen introduced H.J.R. 25 urging the governor’s task force on business closures, which the sponsor described as an effort to help employees at Cygnetics and similar businesses; the resolution passed the House 47-0 and was sent to the Senate. The Rules Committee recommended a set of bills be placed on the third reading calendar (including appropriations for Riverway and Trails, notary amendments, a center for persons with disabilities appropriation, and mental health commitment items) and the House adopted the committee report.
The House also substituted and scheduled H.B. 218 (Utah Horse Regulation Act) for second reading under suspension of the rules and introduced House Joint Resolution 33, encouraging Congress to help states regulate imported hazardous waste (sponsored by Reps. Ted Lewis and Craig Moody), which was referred to the Rules Committee. Announcements included an ice-cream break and local events; the House recessed until 2:00 p.m.
