Votes at a glance: floor action on multiple concurrence items and bills
Summary
The House processed multiple concurrence items and passed several bills on the calendar, including adoption of the conference report for third substitute S.B. 28 and concurrences on H.B. 286 and other items; tallies were announced on the floor where recorded.
During the floor session the Utah House moved through a series of concurrence items and passed multiple bills either by concurrence or as conference reports.
Notable actions announced or passed on the floor included:
- Third substitute Senate Bill 28 (conference committee report on initiative amendments): the House adopted the conference committee report after discussion about a severability clause; the clerk announced the tally as 43 yes, 30 no.
- First substitute House Bill 286 (public‑policy amendments related to hazardous-waste fees): Representative Anderson warned the bill could cost ‘‘80 jobs’’ and criticized a proposed fee level of ‘‘$28 a ton’’ compared with Idaho’s $5/ton; the House concurred with the Senate amendments and the bill was returned to the Senate for signature.
- Fourteenth substitute House Bill 162 (financial institutions/credit unions): concurrence and passage recorded as 55 yes, 20 no (separate article covers this bill in detail).
- First substitute House Bill 3 (minimum school program act amendments): Senate-returned substitute included a corrected fiscal-analyst math error, a permanent School Trust Lands cap of $10,000,000, and language allowing use of up to $2,500,000 in nonlapsing funds to restore adult education; the House took concurrence votes and later recessed.
Several additional bills and substitutes were read or transmitted at the start of the session (including first substitute Senate Bill 157, Senate Bill 233 and others); routine transmittals to the President or Speaker for signatures were recorded by the clerk.
Where the transcript recorded vote tallies on the floor those counts are cited above; other items were read for placement on calendars, or set aside for later action.
