Joint convention convenes for governor's address; motions to record remarks and dissolve passed
Summary
The Utah Legislature resolved into a joint convention to hear Governor Leavitt's State of the State, approved motions to spread his remarks in the Senate and House journals, and then dissolved the joint convention to resume regular business.
SALT LAKE CITY — The joint convention of the Utah Legislature convened and paused briefly for introductions before Governor Leavitt presented the State of the State. Prior to the address, President Mansell appointed a committee to notify the governor that both chambers were ready to proceed.
Senator Holden moved that the legislature resolve into a joint convention; the motion carried by voice vote. After the governor's address, a motion to have the complete text of the governor's remarks placed on both the Senate and House journals was made and passed. The convention then voted to dissolve and the chambers scheduled reconvening at 10 a.m., as announced by the presiding officers.
These actions were procedural and recorded by voice votes during the joint session; no roll‑call tallies are included in the transcript.
