The Utah House moved a set of mostly noncontroversial measures through the consent calendar and second-reading process.
Notable consent votes and outcomes recorded on the floor: HB 209 (local highway/Legacy Loop project) passed with 62 yes and 0 no and was referred to the Senate; HB 192 passed with 59 yes and 0 no; HB 200 (educational savings plan technical amendment) passed 63-0 after the sponsor explained the federal restriction permitting account use for tuition and fees; HB 212 (education costs for nonresident students) passed 68-0 after floor explanation that the change allows individual consideration when students arrive under an interstate compact; HB 183 (Utah Tomorrow strategic planning committee amendments) passed 63-0 and was referred to the Senate.
