House clears several noncontroversial bills on consent, including parole adviser and professional corporation changes
Summary
On the February 18 House floor the chamber passed a set of noncontroversial bills by roll-call/voice vote: HB 77 (mental-health adviser outside-employment language) passed 70-0, HB 201 (professional corporations) passed 68-0, and HB 230 (Olin Walker Housing Trust loan-servicing authority) passed 65-0; several other bills were assigned to committees or circled for later work.
The House approved multiple bills on the floor with minimal debate and unanimous or near-unanimous votes. House Bill 77, adjusting outside-employment restrictions for a mental-health adviser to the Board of Pardons and Parole to ease staffing, passed 70-0 and was sent to the Senate. House Bill 201, allowing out-of-state licensed attorneys employed by Utah firms to be shareholders in Utah professional corporations (without authorizing practice privileges), passed 68-0 and was forwarded to the Senate. House Bill 230, enabling the Olin Walker Housing Trust Fund to contract for loan servicing because the Division of Finance lacks mortgage-servicing software, passed 65-0 and will go to the Senate.
The clerk also reported assignment and placement of many bills to committee calendars (business, labor, health and human services, judiciary, natural resources, taxation, transportation). Several bills (for example HB 80 and HB 244) were circled for further discussion; others were placed on the consent or third-reading calendars as announced on the floor.
