House places a slate of bills on the third-reading calendar
Summary
In a second Rules Committee report read Jan. 26, 2009, the Utah House recommended and adopted placing a package of bills on the third‑reading calendar; adoption was by voice vote with vocal opposition noted.
The Utah House on Jan. 26, 2009 adopted a second Rules Committee report that recommended certain bills be considered read for a second time and placed on the third‑reading calendar.
The chief clerk read the second report into the record: "the Rules Committee recommends that the following bills and resolutions be considered read for the second time and placed on the third reading calendar: House Bill 250, House Bill 12, House Bill 14, House Bill 16, House Bill 19," among others listed.
A representative identified in the transcript as Representative Ferry (spelling variable in the record) moved adoption of the second report. The Speaker called a voice vote; the majority answered "Aye" and the report was announced as adopted, though the transcript records a vocal contrary "Yes" during the roll of voices.
Placing bills on the third‑reading calendar signals they are eligible for full‑House consideration on the floor at a subsequent time when the calendar is taken up.
Next steps: each bill placed on the third‑reading calendar will be scheduled for floor consideration under the House calendar rules.
