Utah House hears schedule and facility announcements, invited by former Florida governor; Representative Bishop moves adjournment
Summary
Legislative announcements included luncheons, a change of venue for the Women's Legislative Caucus, temporary use of Deseret Gym for legislators, and notice that former Florida governor Robert Martinez will speak about two drug bills Thursday at noon; Representative Bishop then moved and secured adjournment until 9 a.m.
The presiding officer relayed several calendar and facility announcements to the chamber: a luncheon hosted by the Utah Manufacturers Association at Little America; a Women's Legislative Caucus luncheon whose location was changed from the New Yorker to Nino's; and that members may use the Deseret Gym during operating hours with a legislative ID and no reservation required.
The presiding officer also announced that the "federal drug czar" — identified in the transcript as former Florida governor Robert Martinez — will address the legislature for about 15 minutes on Thursday at noon to speak about two drug bills, and senators were invited to attend.
Following the announcements, Representative Bishop joked about a press conference and then moved "that we stand adjourned until 9AM." The presiding officer called for the voice vote, members answered "Aye," and the motion to adjourn passed.
The transcript records the announcements and the adjournment motion but does not provide additional detail on the content of the drug bills or the guest speaker's planned remarks.
