House clears multiple concurrence items and consent calendar, several bills pass unanimously
Summary
The Utah House moved through its concurrence calendar, concurring with Senate amendments on a range of bills (agriculture, education, public safety, insurance, child-protection, and others). Several bills passed unanimously or by large margins and were returned to the Senate for signature.
The Utah House processed a series of concurrence and consent items on the calendar, approving Senate amendments to multiple bills with limited debate and, in several cases, unanimous recorded support.
Representative Brad Johnson moved to concur with Senate amendments on a set of bills including Second Substitute House Bill 92 (changes affecting cattle importation and veterinary authority), which passed 66–0. Other bills and measures handled on the consent/concurrence calendar included House Bill 255 (wildlife restitution amendments), House Bill 171 (insurance fraud amendments clarifying mandatory reporting by title insurers), House Bill 60 (protections for children in foster care), and House Bill 324 (Safe Drinking Water Act amendments regarding fluoridation approval by governing water-system bodies). Many motions for concurrence were approved with summations waived and no extended floor debate.
What happens next: The bills passed on the floor were transmitted back to the Senate for the signature of the president as appropriate.
