Utah legislators tell governor they are ready to adjourn; no further business reported
Summary
Representative Barriss reported that a committee, including Senate members, informed the governor the Legislature was ready to adjourn and had no further business; lawmakers also received a report on Iraq and Afghanistan and said they are awaiting a report from senate representatives before formal adjournment.
The Utah Legislature signaled it was prepared to adjourn after lawmakers told the governor they had no further business, Representative Barriss said during a brief floor exchange.
Representative Barriss told the chamber that a committee including Senate members had notified the governor that the Legislature "is prepared is prepared to adjourn sign or die." He also said the group "received a report on Iraq and Afghanistan," and that the governor had no other business to convey, framing the session as ready to conclude.
The presiding Speaker thanked Representative Barriss and restated that members "waited upon the governor and communicated to governor that we are prepared to adjourn, sign, die," underscoring that the chamber had formally signaled its intention. The Speaker later said the body was still awaiting a report from senate representatives before completing adjournment procedures.
No formal motions or votes were recorded in the transcript excerpt provided. The exchange consisted of an informational report and procedural acknowledgments; further action appears contingent on the awaited senate representatives' report.
