House adopts multiple committee reports, advances dozens of measures to third-reading calendar
Summary
On day five the Utah House adopted committee reports from several committees and read multiple bills for second reading, placing them on the third-reading calendar for future floor consideration; motions to adopt committee reports carried by voice vote with no recorded tallies in the transcript.
The Utah House spent much of the fifth day of the 1999 legislative session adopting standing-committee reports and advancing multiple bills to the third-reading calendar.
The reading clerk announced favorable committee recommendations from the Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee (including HB 10 and HB 27), the Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment Committee (including HB 196), the Transportation Committee (including HB 35 and HB 171), the Government Operations Committee (including HB 191), the Political Subdivisions Committee (including HB 185 and HB 239) and the Business, Labor and Economic Development Committee (including a first substitute for HB 214). Representatives moved to adopt the committee reports and the House adopted them, with the clerk reading each advanced bill for second reading and placing them on the third-reading calendar.
A clerical correction was announced regarding HB 185, which should be listed as a first substitute; the clerk read the corrected item for second reading and placed it on the third-reading calendar. The clerk also read a slate of newly introduced bills to be referred to the Rules Committee, including HB 84 (hospital billing procedures), HB 85 (truancy amendments), HB 86 (check-abuse amendments), HB 87 (vintage-vehicle/transaction items) and others.
Most committee-adoption motions were carried by voice vote and the transcript does not provide recorded roll-call tallies for those actions. These floor actions move the listed measures forward in the House process toward final passage or further floor debate.
