Utah House moves to adjourn sine die after Senate reports business complete
Summary
After the Senate reported it had finished its business, members of the Utah House moved to 'adjourn, sign, and die.' Representative Ferry moved to adjourn; the speaker called a voice vote, declared the motion passed, and the chamber adjourned sine die.
The Utah House of Representatives moved to adjourn sine die after the Senate reported it had completed its business. Representative Ferry formally moved 'that we adjourn, sign, and die,' and the speaker called for a voice vote. The speaker then declared, 'Motion passes,' and directed members to stand and adjourn.
The session pivoted to close after the chamber confirmed the upper house had no further messages for the legislature. Representative Hogue told the presiding officer, 'We, addressed the governor and said we were ready to adjourn sine die, and he had no other messages for us at this time.' Representative Holdaway later confirmed he had informed the Senate that the House was ready to 'adjourn, sign and die.'
With no further business identified, the speaker asked Representative Ferry to make a motion. Ferry replied, 'I move that we adjourn, sign, and die.' The speaker called 'Those in favor of the motion, say aye,' one or more members responded 'Aye,' and the presiding officer announced that the motion passed. The body then stood and adjourned.
The transcript records only the formal motion and the speaker's announcement that the motion carried; no second, recorded roll-call vote or tally of individual votes appears in the available record.
