House adopts conference committee report lowering some disabled-parking fines
Summary
The House adopted a conference committee report on Second Substitute Senate Bill 79 to lower proposed disabled-parking fines (text edits include lowering $200 fines to $125 and $100 to $75). The conference report was adopted by the House and will be returned for further processing.
The Utah House on March 3 adopted a conference committee report on Second Substitute Senate Bill 79, which adjusts the statutory fine amounts for disabled parking violations.
A joint conference committee composed of Senators D.C. Butters, Eastman and Maine and Representatives Johnson, Snow and King recommended amendments that reduce several fine figures in the bill text (the report’s markup shows specific line edits, for example changing $200 to $125 and $100 to $75 in two locations). The committee’s recommendation was presented on the House floor and the House moved to adopt the conference committee report.
After a brief colloquy about the negotiated compromise, the House voted to adopt the report and the conference committee report was entered on the journal. The Speaker instructed returning the bill to the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel for final processing.
What happens next: The amended bill will be returned to the Senate for final handling as described in the conference report process.
Quote: The conference committee report was presented “respectfully, senator Butters, representative Johnson,” the clerk announced when the committee recommendation was read.
