House adopts multiple committee reports and passes a slate of bills; votes at a glance
Summary
The House adopted numerous committee reports and passed many bills under suspension of the rules or on second reading, including HB258, HB166, HB167, HB169, HB177 and several committee-reported bills; most recorded votes reported unanimous yes tallies noted on the floor.
During the session the Utah House adopted multiple committee reports and recorded roll-call votes on a number of bills. Committee chairs read their reports and the House voted to adopt them; the Speaker recorded that numerous bills were read for the second time, placed on the third-reading calendar, or placed on the consent calendar.
Highlights of recorded outcomes on the floor included the following: HB166 (public utilities/electronic meetings) was listed by committee and later recorded as having received 66 yes votes and 0 no votes; HB167 (child support, Social Security credit wording change) received 64 yes votes and 0 no votes; HB177 (post certification of youth corrections workers) received 67 yes votes and 0 no votes; and HB169 (Transit District collections and budget) passed with 66 yes votes and 0 no votes. Committee-level endorsements and amendments were read into the record for many bills across Judiciary, Health & Human Services, Government Operations and other committees.
Several committee-reported bills were placed on the consent calendar, meaning the committees judged them noncontroversial. The Speaker and committee chairs repeatedly moved and carried motions to adopt committee reports, and many bills were assigned to standing committees for further consideration in the Senate.
What happens next: Bills passed by the House will be transmitted to the Senate for consideration; committee-reported bills placed on the consent calendar may be scheduled for expedited floor action on later dates.
