House refuses to recede on firearm bill amendment, authorizes conference committee
Summary
The House voted to refuse to recede from its amendment to Senate Bill 48 (uniform firearm laws) and authorized the Speaker to appoint a conference committee to resolve differences over a private-property amendment.
The Utah House voted to refuse to recede from a House amendment to Senate Bill 48 (uniform firearm laws) and authorized the Speaker to appoint a conference committee to resolve the interchamber disagreement.
A motion on the floor urged the House to “stick with the amendment that we put in regarding private property and work this out in committee, in conference.” The floor was asked whether members wished to recede; members debated and Representative Allen said he believed the House should not recede, arguing that language referencing personal property rights should remain.
Summation was waived and the House authorized appointment of a conference committee to negotiate the wording with the Senate.
What happens next: the Speaker will appoint members to a conference committee to resolve conflicting language between the House and Senate versions of SB48.
