House Passes Revenue Bond Bill with Clarifying Amendments
Summary
The House approved House Bill 328, a revenue bond and capital facilities authorization measure, after a committee-sponsored amendment and floor clarifications to project location language; the bill passed 52-22 and will go to the Senate.
The Utah House voted to pass House Bill 328, a revenue bond and capital facilities authorization package, sending the bill to the Senate 52-22 after floor amendments.
Representative Pace, sponsor of the bill, moved to "uncircle" HB 328 and presented Amendment No. 1 to change the funding authority for the Tooele courts building to the State Building Ownership Authority rather than a lease-purchase authorization. "We've gone back and forth in how we're going to fund the Tooele courts building. That's all this amendment does," Pace said; the House adopted the amendment.
Representative Hansen successfully moved technical wording changes to correct the names and locations of liquor-store projects listed in the bill, instructing staff to replace the word "North Ogden" with "Ogden City Second Street" on one line and to identify the Patterson Street store on another. The sponsor said the clarifications "just clarify which stores we're really looking at."
Pace summarized the revenue bond package as routine annual work to fund state-owned facilities and stressed that most projects include a revenue source and are not expected to require new ongoing operating funds. The House adopted the amended bill by roll call and the speaker announced the final tally: 52 yes and 22 no. The bill will be forwarded to the Senate for further consideration.
