Votes at a Glance: Utah House Advances Multiple Senate Bills on Feb. 26, 2003
Summary
During the floor session the House handled a multi‑item concurrence calendar: several Senate bills were read, some passed and were returned to the Senate for signature; SB 127 was recorded with a 67–3 vote.
The Utah House considered a number of Senate bills on its concurrence calendar and on third reading during the Feb. 26 floor session. Several bills were publicly read by title and returned to the Senate for signature following the House vote.
Key outcomes recorded in the captured floor excerpts:
- Senate Bill 127 (appearance of driver’s license amendments): House action included a motion to circle and later to uncircle; final passage was recorded as 67 yes, 3 no and the bill was returned to the Senate for signature.
- Senate Bill 42 (fraudulent use of credit‑card number): Sponsor argued the bill responds to rising identity theft; the bill was read by title and returned to the Senate for the president’s signature (formal passage on the House floor recorded in the session transcript excerpts).
- Senate Bill 140 (prescription drug assistance programs): Sponsor described the bill as a simple measure to help seniors and others access discounted or free pharmaceuticals; the bill was read by title and returned to the Senate for signature.
- First Substitute Senate Bill 132 (child support and paternity): Sponsor said the bill codifies current practice and clarifies several family‑law provisions; it was read and returned to the Senate for signature.
- Senate Bill 209 (registration for ATVs and non‑automobiles): Sponsor said the bill changes registrations to a 12‑month cycle tied to the purchase/registration date to spread the workload for the motor‑vehicle division; the bill was read and returned to the Senate for signature.
The session also included a set of concurrence motions on House bills (for example, House Bill 86 on public school choice enrollment and a criminal‑restitution bill) where sponsors asked the House to concur with Senate amendments. Where a numerical roll call was captured in the transcript excerpts, it is reported above (SB 127: 67–3). Other items were read by title and returned to the Senate without an explicit roll‑call tally in the captured segments.
The House recessed at the conclusion of the calendar and planned to reconvene after a short break.
