Legislature adopts second substitute HB 3,001 reallocating transportation funds
Summary
The Utah Legislature adopted Second Substitute House Bill 3,001 on May 24, 2006, approving a technical reallocation that directs $55 million to the Transportation Investment Fund (TIF) and $35 million to highway projects; the bill will be returned to the Senate for the president's signature.
The Utah Legislature adopted the conference committee report and passed Second Substitute House Bill 3,001 on May 24, 2006, approving a technical reallocation of transportation funding.
The joint conference committee, which the record names as Senators Mansell, Hilliard and Davis and Representatives Alexander, Urquhart and Romero, recommended replacing the first substitute with the second substitute version of HB 3,001. A mover on the floor asked that the committee report be adopted and summarized negotiations that led to the funding split.
An unidentified speaker urged adoption and said the parties had "agreed to, 55,000,000 going to the the, TIF, the Transportation Investment Fund and then the 35,000,000 going for, highway, projects, with the transportation fund." The presiding officer then called for recorded final passage on the corrected caption, "Second Substitute House Bill 3,001."
Voting was opened and closed for final passage; the presiding officer announced the result as 40 yes, 20 no and 15 absent. The presiding officer stated the bill "will be returned to the Senate for the signature of the president for further action."
The record also notes that the conference committee was meeting on Senate Bill 3,002 (access to information gained by the state tax commission), and the presiding officer said they would check its status and that it might be a general session item.
The bill now returns to the Senate for signature as the next procedural step.
