House votes to recall first substitute Senate Bill 45 for further consideration
Summary
The Utah House voted to recall first substitute Senate Bill 45, "Inventory for competitive activities of local entities," after Representative Dee moved to reconsider; the division vote passed 37–29 and the bill will return to the House for further work.
The Utah House voted to recall first substitute Senate Bill 45, "Inventory for competitive activities of local entities," after Representative Dee moved to reconsider the Chamber's prior action and request the bill be returned from the Senate. The Speaker announced the motion passed on a division vote, 37 yes and 29 no, and said the bill will be sent to the Senate with a request to recall it for additional consideration.
Representative Dee introduced the motion to recall, saying members sought clarification of the bill's title and content. The motion initially failed on a voice vote, prompting a standing (division) vote. After the count, the Speaker stated, "37 having voted in favor, the bill will… be recalled from the Senate." The House then moved to place the recalled bill on the House calendar for further action.
The recall gives House sponsors an opportunity to address the concerns raised on the floor and to request technical or substantive changes before final action. No formal amendment text or further committee assignment for the recalled measure was announced during the floor sequence.
The House later authorized a suspension of rules to move items from the Senate calendar to the House calendar and proceeded with remaining floor business.
