House approves substitute motion to 'circle' House Bill 135; Senate Bill 5 pulled and sent back to rules committee over $95,000 fiscal note

Representative Bishop moved a substitute motion described in debate as a motion to "circle" House Bill 135; the House approved that substitute motion by voice vote. Members were asked for 'ayes' and the chair declared the motion passed after the affirmative response.

The transcript does not define the procedural meaning of the word "circle" in this context; the body recorded only a voice vote and no roll-call tally was provided on the record.

Later in the session Representative Bishop announced he would pull Senate Bill 5 off the board and refer it back to the rules committee. He said the bill "does have a $95,000 fiscal note [for] 1995" and asked the rules committee to review the policy and advise the House on direction. The referral was announced on the floor; the transcript records the referral request but does not show the rules committee's subsequent vote or action.

Before adjournment, a brief set of announcements covered member events: a luncheon hosted by the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce in the rotunda, an ice cream social by the Utah State Board of Vocational Education (noted between 2:00 and 3:30 p.m.), and a state fair dinner at 6:30 p.m. Representative Mon Evans introduced a visiting student, Kim Balford of Bingham High School, and members applauded.

Representative Bishop moved that the House adjourn until 9:00 a.m. the following morning; the motion carried on a voice vote. The transcript shows the motion and its affirmation but does not include a roll-call vote or a numerical tally for any of the floor actions recorded.

Next steps: the rules committee was asked to examine the fiscal impact of Senate Bill 5 and provide direction; the transcript does not record any follow-up action or schedule for that review.
