House moves to reconsider action on fifth substitute of Senate Bill 2 (bonding bill)
Summary
A motion was made on the floor to reconsider House action on the fifth substitute of Senate Bill 2, which would return the bill to the form received from the Senate to allow further amendment; members discussed process and two-thirds threshold required for later action.
SALT LAKE CITY — Early in the session a member moved to reconsider the House’s action on the fifth substitute of Senate Bill 2, a bond bill, so the measure would return to the version sent from the Senate for further amendment.
"Having voted on the prevailing side, I make a motion that we reconsider our actions on fifth substitute, Senate Bill 2," the mover announced. Members clarified the procedural effect: if successful, the bill would be returned to the original Senate form and, if the House acts again later with amendments, a two-thirds threshold could apply for subsequent changes.
The motion was discussed briefly on the floor with procedural questions from members and a short colloquy about how the bill would be handled if the motion passed. The transcript records debate about the mechanics but does not show a final roll-call tally on the motion to reconsider within the excerpt provided here.
Next steps The bill remained on the floor calendar; the record in this excerpt moves on to other items after the procedural exchange.
