House adopts rules committee report; dozens of bills assigned to standing committees
Summary
The House adopted the rules committee report by voice vote, assigning numerous House bills (including HB 37, HB 133, HB 15, HB 119 and education and health measures) to standing committees and sending the Legislature into a Committee of the Whole to hear the Chief Justice.
The Utah House adopted the rules committee report after the committee chair read a long list of bills and resolutions recommended for assignment to standing committees.
Madam Rehncliff (rules committee) read the report listing many bills and the committee’s recommendations for committee referrals. Representative Steven Urquhart moved adoption of the report; the Presiding Officer called for discussion, took a voice vote and declared the motion passed.
The Presiding Officer announced committee referrals included, among others, Business, Labor (HB 37, HB 53, HB 89, HB 99, HB 133), Education (HB 81, HB 85, HB 118, HB 234, HB 245, HB 254), Health and Human Services (HB 15, HB 47, HB 82, HB 100, HB 119, HB 258), Judiciary (HB 111) and Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice (HB 95, HB 109, HB 256, HB 264). Representative Urquhart signed the report as committee chair.
Senator Bramble later moved that the Legislature resolve into a Committee of the Whole to hear Chief Justice Durham; that motion passed by voice vote and the House and Senate heard the Chief Justice’s State of the Judiciary address in the restored chamber.
