House takes up Senate communications; four measures read and sent to Rules, House bill on driver—s-license funding enrolled
Summary
The Utah House accepted communications from the Senate transmitting two Senate bills and two concurrent resolutions; the measures were read for the first time and referred to the Rules Committee for prioritization. The Senate also signed House Bill 3002, a drivers—-licensing appropriation, which was transmitted for the Speaker—s signature and enrolling.
The Utah House of Representatives accepted communications from the Senate and moved four measures into committee consideration during a short floor session. Matt B. Moore, secretary of the Senate, read the messages and confirmed the Senate had passed the measures before transmitting them to the House.
Moore said, "The Senate passed Senate Bill 3,005, executive compensation amendments by Senator P. Knudson," and listed several other measures the Senate had approved and transmitted for House consideration. The items included Senate Bill 3,007 (an economic development tax and sending fund appropriation modification by Senator L. Hilliard), Senate Concurrent Resolution 3,001 (approval of transportation maintenance shed construction by Senator Jay Hickman) and Senate Concurrent Resolution 3,002 (a resolution approving a parking structure for the Capital Complex by Senator LA Mansell).
By the close of the communications reading, the House presiding officer announced that those four Senate measures "will all be considered read for the first time and referred to the Rules Committee for prioritization." The transcript does not include debate on the measures; the referral places them on the committee calendar for further review and scheduling.
Separately, Moore announced that "the president of the Senate has signed House Bill 3,002, appropriation to fund new driver's license programs by Representative R. Bickelow," and that the bill was transmitted to the Speaker for signature and to House staff for enrolling. The transcript records the signing and transmittal but does not include details of the appropriation amount or program specifics.
A voice vote on an earlier, unspecified motion concluded the brief session when the presiding officer called the ayes and announced the motion passed. The record does not provide the motion text or a complete roll-call tally.
Next steps: the referenced Senate bills and concurrent resolutions have been referred to the Rules Committee for prioritization; House Bill 3002 will proceed through the enrolling process following the Speaker—s signature.
