House advances a slate of third‑reading bills, most pass unanimously
Summary
On the third reading calendar the House passed multiple bills by recorded vote (HB13 62–0; HB169 61–0; HB170 73–0; HB174 72–0 after revote; HB175 73–0; HB188 74–0) and circled several others for later work.
During this floor session the Utah House took recorded votes on a series of third‑reading items. Several measures were noncontroversial and advanced to the Senate; others were circled for later amendment or fiscal review.
Key results announced by the Clerk included:
• HB13 (Public Utilities and Technology reporting frequency to annual): passed 62 yes, 0 no and will be referred to the Senate.
• HB169 (annexation of agricultural protection areas): passed 61 yes, 0 no and will be forwarded to the Senate.
• HB170 (information technology restructuring): passed 73 yes, 0 no and will be forwarded to the Senate.
• HB174 (school activities reporting): after an aborted initial vote caused by electronic voting loading problems, the revote passed 72 yes, 0 no; the bill will be sent to the Senate.
• HB175 (Falconry registration/certificate of registration), HB188 (reauthorization of State Water Development Commission) and several other bills noted on the calendar also passed by unanimous recorded votes; the Clerk announced the specific tallies as each vote closed.
Several bills were "circled" (set aside) for further work, including HB168 (uncircled then passed), HB182 (circled for further drafting and fiscal review) and others where sponsors requested more time to resolve drafting or fiscal questions.
The House indicated it will prioritize appropriation bills later in the session and reminded members that any appropriation over $10,000 may be held for prioritization and that members can request updated fiscal notes where necessary.
