Governor Huntsman addresses House as legislature adjourns sine die
Summary
Governor John Huntsman addressed the House near the session's close, praising the Legislature's work, emphasizing education and fiscal stewardship, and thanking members; the House completed final business, struck enacting clauses on remaining bills and adjourned sine die.
Near the end of the 2008 general session, Governor John Huntsman addressed the Utah House of Representatives after being welcomed to the floor. In brief remarks he thanked lawmakers for what he described as a productive session, praised the Legislature's focus on education and prudent fiscal management, and commended bipartisan cooperation across the 45‑day session.
Following formal communications and final procedural motions, the House struck the enacting clause on remaining bills on the calendar, authorized the speaker to appoint committees to notify the governor and the Senate that the House had completed its business, approved two days' pay for full‑time House employees in appreciation for their service, and then adjourned sine die.
Speaker and members noted the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel would distribute post‑session reports (lists of bills passed and budget highlights) to members the following day.
