Votes at a glance: bills passed on House floor Feb. 11, 2000
Summary
On Feb. 11 the Utah House adopted several bills and resolutions on third reading or by committee reports; tallies recorded on the floor include HB258 (66–0), HB262 (66–0), HB247 (69–2), HB242 (67–0, as reported), HB83 (55–0) and HR3 (64–3).
Several bills were adopted by the Utah House during the Feb. 11 floor session. The clerk reported these roll-call outcomes in the transcript excerpt provided:
- House Bill 258 (Prescription for Controlled Substances): Passed; recorded vote 66 yes, 0 no. The sponsor, Representative Anderson, described pharmacy refill problems and said the bill addressed a 10-day/30-day prescription/expiration requirement impacting patient access.
- House Bill 262 (Navajo Trust Fund amendments): Passed; recorded vote 66 yes, 0 no. Representative Johnson characterized it as a technical "housecleaning" measure adjusting membership and representation for the Dine advisory committee.
- House Bill 247 (Higher Education Archaeological Instruction Program): Passed; recorded vote 69 yes, 2 no. Representative Johnson said the program would seed an archaeological instruction and preservation training program at the College of Eastern Utah, San Juan campus.
- House Bill 242 (reimbursement reported as 'House Bill 2 42' in transcript): The clerk reported a 67 yes, 0 no result in the transcript at SEG 521–523; earlier discussion in the transcript concerned reimbursement of legal fees to educators (HB232). The transcript as provided ties debate and later votes but does not fully reconcile bill numbering in the excerpt.
- House Bill 83 (Jail release amendment): Passed; recorded vote 55 yes, 0 no. Representative Jack A. Seitz said the bill clarifies when sheriffs may release prisoners for supervised work detail, absent a judge's order to the contrary.
- House Resolution 3 (House rules resolution on committee review): Passed; recorded vote 64 yes, 3 no. Representative Melvin R. Brown sponsored the resolution requiring standing-committee review for many bills prior to floor consideration, with exceptions discussed on the floor.
Notes on incompleteness and numbering: The transcript sometimes reports debate on one bill number and a roll-call result under a different bill number in the same session (for example, debate labeled HB232 and a later roll-call recorded as HB242). Where the transcript excerpt shows inconsistent bill numbering or omits a final roll-call for a debated bill, this summary reports the votes exactly as read into the record.
All bill outcomes reported above are taken from the clerk’s floor announcements contained in the provided transcript excerpt.
