House amends and approves HB 444 on privatization of quasi‑governmental entities
Summary
The Utah House reconsidered and approved a technical amendment to first substitute House Bill 444 (Privatization of Quasi‑Governmental Entities) and then passed the bill on first subject by a 68‑0 roll call. The amendment changed wording in a single phrase and was offered under Representative Adair's name.
The Utah House of Representatives reopened consideration of first substitute House Bill 444 and approved a technical amendment before passing the bill.
On the motion to reconsider and amend, Representative Adair explained the change would replace a word in the bill’s language (changing “or” to “off” in the cited line) as a technical correction. The House placed the amendment, members voted in favor without extended debate, and the motion to amend carried. Voting then opened on first subject; the House recorded 68 yes votes and 0 no votes and returned the bill to the Senate for further action.
Clerks had previously transmitted the Senate’s substitute and noted the item was received from the Senate for the House’s further consideration. The amendment and subsequent passage were presented as technical and non‑controversial on the floor; no further amendments were adopted during the floor sequence.
The House proceeded to its next item following the vote. The bill will move again to the Senate for its procedural signature and journal entry.
