House reconsiders and adopts substitute for HB61 reducing municipal fee
Summary
The House reconsidered earlier action on House Bill 61, then adopted a substitute that reduces the fee charged to cities from 2.5% to 1.5% and stages the change into next year's budget, according to the sponsor's floor summary.
SALT LAKE CITY — Lawmakers on Feb. 14 moved to reconsider earlier action on House Bill 61 and then adopted a substitute version of the measure.
On the floor a sponsor summarized the substitute: the bill reduces a fee charged to cities from 2.5 percent to 1.5 percent and builds that reduction into next year’s budget rather than taking effect this year. Members moved to reconsider the record of prior action and then moved to adopt the first substitute for HB61; the motion carried and the clerk announced passage.
The transcript records the procedural steps and the sponsor’s description of the bill’s substantive effect; the clerk indicated the house adopted the substitute. The transcript does not contain a clear standard-format roll-call tally for the final adoption of HB61 as printed in other items earlier in the day, and the clerk’s spoken summary is the documented record in the transcript.
Next steps: As with other measures adopted by the House, the substitute for HB61 will proceed according to standard legislative process (transmittal or further committee steps as required). The sponsor said the substitute deletes the original title and body and replaces them with the substitute language shown on the floor.
