Summary
The Utah House dissolved its Committee of the Whole after a brief floor exchange, announced a Rules Committee meeting at 12:10 p.m., and recessed until 2:00 p.m.; a visiting student, Jolie Faubre, was recognized at the start of the session.
A visiting student was recognized at the start of the session, and the Utah House carried out routine procedural business before adjourning for a recess.
The presiding Speaker introduced Jolie Faubre and praised her essay, saying, "What a wonderful essay," and thanked the student and members of the Martin Luther King Junior Human Rights Coalition for attending the session.
Shortly afterward, Representative Clark took the floor and moved "that we dissolve the Committee of the Whole." The motion was put to the House; members responded "Aye," and the Speaker declared the motion passed, dissolving the Committee of the Whole.
The Speaker then announced that the Rules Committee would meet at 12:10 p.m. upon the recess, and that a rules report would be ready to be read later that afternoon when the chamber returned to session.
Representative Clark later moved that the House recess until 2:00 p.m. Members again voiced their assent by saying "Aye," and the Speaker recessed the House until 2:00 p.m.
The session featured no recorded roll-call votes in the transcript excerpt; both procedural actions were decided by voice vote. The House paused legislative business until the scheduled 2:00 p.m. return, with the Rules Committee meeting planned at 12:10 p.m.
