House concurs with Senate amendments to HB192 (renewable energy methane)
Summary
The House concurred with Senate amendments to House Bill 192 (renewable energy, methane gas), adopting changes that removed operating mines from the scope to allow more time for consideration; the concurrence passed and the bill was returned to the Senate (final House vote recorded 65–0).
The Utah House agreed to Senate amendments and concurred in House Bill 192, a renewable energy measure concerning methane gas, after the sponsor said the Senate changes removed current operating coal mines from the bill to allow "some more time to consider this." Representative (Jenny) Watkins moved to concur and the motion passed by voice; the enrolling clerk later reported final passage with 65 yes and 0 no votes, and the bill was returned to the Senate for the president’s signature.
The sponsor told the chamber the amendment limited the bill’s applicability by removing operating mines from coverage while retaining abandoned‑mine provisions. The House clerk and enrolling staff were directed to process the enrolled bill for signature and further action in the Senate.
