House resolves into Committee of the Whole for judiciary address, refers bill and recesses after technical problems
Summary
The House resolved into a Committee of the Whole to hear the State of the Judiciary address, recorded the referral of a bill to the rules committee (text on the record ambiguous), later dissolved the committee and recessed until 6:15 p.m. because the chamber's computer system could not post bills or record votes.
The Utah House of Representatives took several procedural steps around the Chief Justice’s State of the Judiciary address.
Early on the floor, a member announced that a bill would be referred to the rules committee (the on-record text reads "Hospital 2 3 8 will be referred to the rules committee"); the identifier as read is ambiguous in the transcript. The House then moved and voted by voice to resolve into a Committee of the Whole to receive the judiciary’s report.
Following the address, Representative Finlayson moved to dissolve the Committee of the Whole and thank the judiciary; that motion also passed by voice vote. Later, members moved to recess until 6:15 p.m. and cited a failure of the chamber’s computer system "to post the bills on the board" and to record voting. The motion to recess carried on a voice vote and the House recessed.
All procedural actions on the floor were decided by voice votes; no roll-call tallies or recorded individual votes were provided in the transcript.
