House adopts conference committee substitute for minimum school program; votes 48–23
Summary
The House adopted the conference committee report for first substitute Senate Bill 5,010 (minimum school program amendments) and then passed the first substitute by roll‑call, 48 yes to 23 no, sending it back to the Senate.
Salt Lake City — The House considered the joint conference committee report on Senate Bill 5,010, a first substitute addressing minimum school program amendments. Representative Dilley explained the substitute incorporates technical changes to amounts and language and includes legislative intent clarifying that public education reductions enacted in the special session should not prompt school districts to increase class size. The conference committee reported unanimous support in committee.
On the floor, Representative Aaron questioned the practical effect of legislative intent language; Representative Shurtleff asked about a certification clause that had been removed in the substitute, and the sponsor said the substitute retains only the intent statement and not the prior certification requirement. After brief debate and waived summations, the House adopted the conference committee report and then passed the first substitute on roll call by 48 yes to 23 no; the bill will be returned to the Senate for further consideration.
