Utah House organizes special session, adopts rules and places several bills on second/third-reading calendars
Summary
On the first day of the second special session in October 1993 the Utah House adopted prior-session rules, appointed Carol Peterson as chief clerk, suspended full title readings, and placed multiple bills (including HB6 on public access across federal lands and HB7 on income tax amendments) on the second/third-reading calendar.
The Utah House of Representatives organized itself at the opening of a second special session in October 1993, adopting the same leadership and rules used during the fiftieth general session, appointing Carol Peterson as chief clerk, and moving a set of bills to calendars for further consideration.
Representative Stevens moved that the House retain the same organizational leadership for the special session; the motion passed by voice vote. The speaker then announced the appointment of Carol Peterson as chief clerk. The lieutenant governor read the governor's proclamation calling the special session and listing its purposes, which include juvenile corrections issues, retiree tax matters, tax treatment of federal and state government retirees, and a possible repeal of statutes regarding marriage and communicable diseases.
The reading clerk announced the short titles of House Bills 1 through 11 and House Concurrent Resolution 1, with sponsors named in the record for each. Under a motion to suspend the reading of full titles for the remainder of the session, Representative Stevens moved to allow bills to be considered read on subsequent calendars; that motion was adopted. The rules committee recommended that several bills, including House Bill 6 (public access across federal lands), HCR 1 (resolution on highway rights-of-way), House Bill 7 (income tax amendments), and House Bill 8 (retiree income tax refund process and funding) be considered read for the second time and placed on the third-reading calendar; the House adopted that report.
Separately, the House resolved into the Committee of the Whole to hear the governor's remarks and later dissolved the committee after the governor's address. The session recessed for caucus and lunch until 12:45 p.m., when members were scheduled to return to discuss the bills on the calendar.
The recorded segments contain multiple voice votes and motions that were adopted by voice; no roll-call tallies for those specific motions are given in the transcript excerpt provided.
