Summary
On Jan. 29 the House approved or moved multiple bills—including unanimous or large-majority votes on housekeeping and policy bills—and referred several to committees; notable recorded votes include HB 253 (67–0), HB 64 (67–0), HB 46 (64–0), HB 248 (55–10).
The Utah House on Jan. 29 considered a long list of committee reports, adopted many committee recommendations and recorded final passage votes on several bills.
Among recorded outcomes: House Bill 253 (Vehicle Safety Inspection Certificate Amendment, Rep. Gary F. Cox) passed by a recorded vote of 67–0 and was forwarded to the Senate; House Bill 64 (Child Abuse Offense Amendment) passed by recorded vote of 67–0; First Substitute House Bill 46 (Joinder of Misdemeanor and Felony Offences) passed 64–0; House Bill 248 (appropriation for Submarine Memorial) passed 55–10 and was forwarded to the Senate. Numerous committee reports (Natural Resources; Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice; Transportation; Judiciary) were adopted by voice vote and their recommended bills were placed on the appropriate reading calendars.
Other procedural actions included referring SB 6 to the Rules Committee because of fiscal impact, adopting the Rules Committee report and scheduling committee meetings; the House adjourned until 10 a.m. the next day.
These items were routine floor actions for the session; bills with substantive debate earlier in the day are covered in separate articles.
