House adopts SGR 9 revising joint rules and audit routing
Summary
The Utah House passed SGR 9, updating legislative interim audit routing, limits on non‑germane substitutes and a temporary per‑diem process tied to the Olympic period; the measure passed the House 62–0 on the floor.
The Utah House on the floor passed SGR 9, a joint rules revision that clarifies how audit reports are routed and sets limits on amendments and substitutes, passing the measure 62–0.
Sponsor Representative Deal Reid told the House the measure authorizes the Legislative Management Committee—s audit subcommittee to review audit reports and recommend where they should be sent and whether an interim committee should prepare implementing legislation or appropriations. The rule also restricts replacing bills with non‑germane substitutes and makes technical changes to reserved bill numbering.
The sponsor said the measure includes a short, targeted provision for per‑diem during the Olympic period: legislators returning to town for essential business may apply for reimbursement for actual costs with receipts and prior approval from the Legislative Expense Oversight Committee.
SGR 9 was read and put to a vote; the reading clerk announced it received 62 yes votes and 0 no votes and the passage was entered onto the journal. The House then proceeded to other floor business.
