House hears that Senate is convened; lawmakers pause to await governor communications
Summary
The Utah House received a report that the Senate was convened and ready to do business; members said they would pause to await a report from a committee waiting upon the governor's office. No votes or formal actions were recorded in the transcript.
At a session whose date is not specified in the transcript, members of the Utah House received a report that the Utah Senate was "convened and ready to conduct business," and the House agreed to pause to await a report from a committee that had been waiting upon the governor's office.
Speaker 2 told the chamber: "We're here to advise the, the house that the senate is, convened and ready to conduct business," reporting that a Senate delegation was present to coordinate interchamber business. Speaker 1 acknowledged the visit and made a light-hearted comment when members briefly left the floor: "I was wondering if you kidnapped our house members that went up there half an hour ago. Oh, it looks like they're back."
Representative Hunsicker reported to the House that the committee had met and informed the Senate that the House was organized and ready to proceed. Speaker 1 then said the House would "wait for a minute till we get our report back from the committee waiting upon the governor to see if there's any communications from the governor's office." The transcript records no formal motions, votes, or legislative decisions during the excerpt provided.
The exchange consisted of procedural notifications and acknowledgements — including thanks to "Senator Jenkins" and "Senator McCoy" for attending — and set the next step as awaiting the committee's return with any communications from the governor's office. The transcript does not specify a date, time, or any subsequent committee findings.
