Votes at a glance: House approves multiple Senate bills, recalls HB 301 for negotiation
Summary
On March 1, 2005, the Utah House approved a slate of Senate bills and resolutions (including SJR 16 and SB 132, 173, 223) and carried procedural motions to recall and circle House Bill 301 to continue negotiations with the Senate.
The House processed a broad set of Senate items and several House measures in a fast-moving floor session.
Key recorded actions:
- House Resolution 12 (ceremonial): Adopted 74–0 (HR 12 was presented and approved for Holly Parker). - Motion to recall House Bill 301 from Legislative Research and General Counsel: moved by Representative Bigelow and passed by voice (recalled to the House calendar to allow ongoing negotiations with the Senate). - Motion to reconsider prior action on HB 301 under suspension of rules: passed by the House (two-thirds/reconsideration under suspension recorded by voice vote). - Motion to "circle" House Bill 301 (leave on the calendar pending negotiations): adopted by voice; the bill was placed on the House calendar. - Senate Joint Resolution 16 (comprehensive cancer control plan): Passed 67–0; to be signed by the speaker (SJR 16; sponsor Representative Morgan). - Senate Bill 223 (oversight and enforcement for mobile home work): Passed 60–8 and transmitted for the speaker's signature. - First substitute Senate Bill 137 (tourism/TRT): Passed as amended, 53–16; referred to the Senate as passed by the House. - First substitute Senate Bill 64 (substitution action): Adopted (substitution vote); second substitute SB 64 later passed 67–0 and was referred to the Senate. - Senate Bill 173 (Brownfields revisions): Passed 68–0. - Senate Bill 132 (Health care consumer reporting): Passed 68–0. - Senate Bill 96 (Commerce Service Fund amendments): Passed 69–0.
Many other bills were transmitted, concurred in, or placed on future calendars; the reading clerk listed multiple bills sent to the speaker for signature or for future concurrence. The House recessed for 10 minutes near the end of the morning calendar.
What this means: several substantive measures were cleared by the House for the Senate or the speaker's signature, and HB 301 was deliberately held pending further negotiation between chambers.
