House adopts rules committee report, assigns printed bills to standing committees
Summary
The House adopted the Rules Committee report, ordering several bills to be printed and assigning them to standing committees (including bills on health insurance marketing standards, licensing, captive insurance, bicycle safety, and motor vehicle inspection); Rebecca Lockhart moved adoption and the House approved the report by voice vote.
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah House on the floor adopted the Rules Committee report that ordered a series of bills and resolutions to be printed and assigned them to standing committees for further consideration.
Rebecca Lockhart, chair of the Rules Committee, presented the report and listed bills the committee recommended be printed and referred, including House Bill 27 (health insurance fair marketing standards), HB 60 (producer licensing amendments), HB 191 (captive insurance law amendments), HCR 1 (promoting moderately sized schools), HB 49 (bicycle safety provisions), HB 164 (repeal of Utah personnel introduction services protection act), HB 168 (cooperative wildlife management unit amendments), HB 9 (sales and use tax agricultural exemption vehicle limitation), HR 2 (supporting permanent repeal of federal inheritance tax), HB 48 (motor vehicle registration and safety inspection amendments), and HCR 2 (Cowboy Hall of Fame resolution).
Lockhart moved adoption of the committee report; summation was waived and the House adopted the report by voice vote. The Speaker then read committee assignments mapping specific bills to standing committees — Business and Labor; Education; Natural Resources, Agricultural, and Environment; Revenue and Taxation; Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice; Transportation — so each bill can proceed to committee hearings.
Members were reminded of procedural steps for transmitting bills to the Senate — sponsors must provide a Senate sponsor to ensure a bill is transmitted. The floor did not list fiscal notes or committee hearing schedules for the individual bills during the adoption of the report.
