House announces passage of Sub Senate Bill 1, recalls and transfers multiple House bills to Senate and clears calendar
Summary
The Utah House announced passage of Sub Senate Bill 1 (59–13), moved several House bills back to the Senate for further consideration, voted to wipe the House calendar for re-prioritization, and adjourned until 8 a.m. the next day.
The Utah House concluded a short floor session by announcing the passage of Sub Senate Bill 1 and taking procedural actions to return and transfer several House bills to the Senate and to clear the House calendar.
Speaker 1 announced that Sub Senate Bill 1 "received 59 yes votes and 13 no votes" and said the bill "will be returned to Senate for further action." Names called during roll included Aaron Jones, Cardell, Evans and Beverly.
In subsequent business, Speaker 3 asked that House Bill 152 be recalled from general counsel so it could be transmitted to the Senate for further consideration and amendment. Speaker 1 moved to call House Bill 162 from research and general counsel for further action; that motion passed on voice vote and was noted for communication to the Senate. A senator formally requested the return of HB 162, described in the proceedings as an appropriation for the Utah State Museum of Natural History, for full reconsideration.
Representative Finlayson moved to "wipe the house calendar," directing that bills be removed from the House calendar and returned to rules for future prioritization. Members asked whether the action included certain calendar designations; Speaker 1 clarified it included the 'circle' but not necessarily the consent calendar. The motion carried on voice vote.
Representative Finlayson then moved to adjourn. "I move we adjourn until 8AM in the morning," Finlayson said; the motion passed and the House adjourned.
No detailed debate on the substance of Sub Senate Bill 1 or the recalled House bills was recorded in the transcript provided; the session’s actions were procedural and preparatory for further consideration by the Senate or by House rules committees.
Next steps: Sub Senate Bill 1 will be returned to the Senate for further action; House Bills 152 and 162 were recalled or otherwise moved for further consideration or reconsideration as recorded, and the House will reconvene at 8 a.m. on the stated date.
