Votes at a glance: key House actions on Feb. 23, 1998
Summary
The House approved a range of bills on consent and the debate calendar Feb. 23, including unanimous consent items and several contested floor votes; summary lists outcomes and tallies for major items taken up that day.
The Utah House took dozens of routine and contested actions on Feb. 23. Key results from the floor:
- HB227 (concur with Senate amendment on Special District Elections): motion to concur adopted; recorded 65 yes, 0 no; returned to Senate for signature. - HB409 (records access for state hospitals): passed, 74 yes, 0 no. - SB43 (governmental immunity/notice of claim): passed, 73 yes, 0 no. - HB364 (higher education facilities/design for San Juan campus): passed, 73 yes, 0 no. - HB171 (mobile and manufactured home amendments): amended on floor and passed, 71 yes, 2 no. - HB336 (Centennial trails appropriation): passed, 59 yes, 14 no. - HB308 (Peace Officer Amendments; second substitute): passed, 71 yes, 0 no. - HB121 (program for at‑risk youth and families): passed, 51 yes, 21 no. - HB152 (Esthetician Licensing Act, first substitute): failed on tied roll call, 37 yes, 37 no.
Many other committee‑approved bills were read for second or third readings or placed on the consent calendar (see committee reports recorded on the floor). For several bills the House adopted technical floor amendments; items that received unanimous or near‑unanimous consent were forwarded to the Senate or placed on the appropriate reading calendar.
Why this matters: The roll-call outcomes finalize the House’s position on key bills and move passed items to the next step in the legislative process; the tie on HB152 is notable because it stops a licensing measure despite floor debate and amendments.
