On the concurrence calendar the Utah House handled a series of Senate amendments and related procedural actions. Key outcomes:
House Bill 48 (water company amendments) — Representative David Ewer moved to concur with a Senate change that inserted the word “actual” to narrow damages to actual damages; the motion passed and final passage was recorded as 69 yes, 0 no.
House Bill 86 (property-tax refunding/prepayments) — Representative Fred Hunsaker said a Senate amendment replaces the word “May” with “shall” for county adoption timing; the House concurred and the bill passed 69 yes, 0 no.
House Bill 315 (real estate amendments) — Representative Gordon Snow summarized Senate amendments that raise the maximum penalty for certain licensing violations and clarify licensing requirements for certain agents; the House concurred, final passage 70 yes, 1 no.
House Bill 233 (insurance-licensing amendments) — Initial confusion arose when Representative James Dunnigan said he had not seen the amendments and withdrew an early motion to concur; after clarifying, Dunnigan later explained an amendment counting attorney-handled escrow closings as a single closing regardless of title policies and the House concurred; final passage reported 68 yes, 0 no.
First substitute House Bill 87 (use of disaster loan funds) — Representative David Clark explained the Senate amendment provides a one-year extension and adjusts maturity dates for parts of the advance; the House concurred and the bill passed 70 yes, 0 no.
Senate Bill 36 (school districts limited amendments on truth-in-taxation) — Representative Gordon Snow moved to recall the bill from the Senate for a technical amendment; the motion to recall was adopted and the House will notify the Senate.
HCR 6 (concurrent resolution recognizing contributions of Fred C. Adams) — Representative Lockhart moved to lift the resolution from rules, have it read for a second time and place it on the time-certain calendar for Feb. 21 at 10:30 a.m.; the motion passed.
All items handled on the concurrence calendar will have the indicated next procedural steps (final passage recorded and bills returned to the Senate for signature where applicable).
