The Utah House recorded several votes during the floor session:
- Senate Bill 175 (revenue procedures and control amendments) — passed 65 yes, 0 no. The bill was publicly read by title and signed by the Speaker for Journal entry.
- Senate Bill 208 (warrant for removal of a minor from a home), second substitute — passed 68 yes, 2 no after an amendment to delete the word "criminal" from the title and body.
- Senate Bill 223 (parent time/custody), substitute as amended — passed 58 yes, 8 no following adoption of an amendment adding judicial factors for contested cases (division vote on the amendment recorded as 35–30 earlier in the debate).
- Senate Bill 203 (condominium/HOA), fifth substitute — passed 39 yes, 31 no after prolonged debate and multiple procedural motions.
Several other concurrence motions and technical substitutions were presented on the concurrence calendar and sent back to the Senate for signature and journal entry; the House also recessed at the session's close.
These floor votes reflect a mix of unanimous procedural approvals and closely contested policy decisions. The House record shows sponsors and opponents debating statutory wording, funding mechanisms and implementation details for multiple measures.
