Legislature moves to adjourn after members say business complete
Summary
An unidentified member told the chamber it had "completed our business" and moved to "adjourn, sign and die." The presiding officer called for a vote; the transcript does not record the outcome.
An unidentified member of the 2004 Utah Legislature told the chamber that lawmakers had informed the governor they "had completed our business" and that they were ready to adjourn.
The presiding officer called for attention and recognized Representative Philpott before the unidentified member said, “Im now ready to adjourn.” Shortly afterward, the member moved "that we adjourn, sign and die." The presiding officer restated the motion and called for those in favor.
Representative Curtis was identified in the record during the exchange, but the transcript does not attribute the motion or the second to a named member. The transcript ends after the call for those in favor; no vote tally or formal outcome appears in the provided record.
The brief proceedings also include the statement that the body had informed the governor it had completed its business, indicating the session was ending. No additional motions, amendments, or committee directions are recorded in the supplied transcript.
The next procedural step recorded in the excerpt was the presiding officer calling for members to indicate their support for the motion to adjourn; the outcome of that vote is not specified in the transcript.
