Votes at a glance: bills passed by the Utah House on March 1, 2000
Summary
A roundup of key floor actions from the House on March 1: multiple Senate bills were concurred in, several House bills passed final passage, and a number of measures were placed on concurrence or third‑reading calendars. Vote tallies and brief notes are listed for items discussed on the floor.
Here are the principal final outcomes and notable votes recorded during the March 1 House session, drawn from floor proceedings:
- HB 390 (Endowment fund for tobacco settlement monies): House concurred with Senate amendments and gave final passage (House tally reported earlier in the transcript as 55 yes, 16 no).
- Third substitute HB 103 (Amendments to child welfare — adoption/cohabitation intent language): House concurred and adopted Senate intent language clarifying placements before the bill’s effective date; final passage recorded (53 yes, 17 no).
- SB 234 (Penalties for offenses against police and service animals): Final passage reported as unanimous in the House (64 yes, 0 no) after floor presentation clarifying purpose and training costs cited by sponsor.
- SB 147 (Online court assistance): Passed the House (68 yes, 0 no) following explanation of the move from kiosk to web‑based access and a $20 filing fee for those who file papers.
- SB 159 (Collection of delinquent taxes by outside agencies): Passed the House (69 yes, 0 no); sponsors said the bill shortens the time before external collection from 24 months to 12 months.
- HB 312, HB 395, HB 348 and other bills were read and transmitted for enrollment or concurrence as the late session proceeded; many concurrence calendar items were adopted by voice vote or recorded roll as shown on the floor.
- House Bill 3 (Supplemental Appropriations Act 2) and House Bill 176 (and others) were heavily discussed and amended on the floor; HB 3 was ultimately recorded as passed in the late sequence (vote recorded as 38 yes, 35 no in a later roll‑call recorded in the transcript).
These items reflect a mix of unanimous technical or consensus measures and several closely contested policy votes later in the night. The House also appointed conference committees, adopted joint conference reports (for example on HB 272 retirement office amendments), and finalized signing and enrollment steps to transmit measures to the Senate and Governor.
