House approves first substitute replacing HB497 to add fraud-enforcement language, 59-15
Summary
The House voted 59-15 to replace House Bill 497 with a first substitute that adds language read on the floor described as "for enforcement of Section 70 six-eight-twelve oh 5," identified in the record as relating to fraud statutes under Utah law; the substitute was transmitted to the Senate.
On March 4 the Utah House approved a motion to replace House Bill 497 with a first substitute and later approved that substitute by a recorded vote of 59-15.
Representative Sandstrom moved to delete the body of House Bill 497 and replace it with a first substitute that, as read on the floor, inserts on line 241 after "local law enforcement agency" the phrase "for enforcement of Section 70 six-eight-twelve oh 5," which the sponsor described on the record as the fraud statutes under Utah code. The presiding officer ruled the replacement in order and no floor discussion was recorded beyond sponsor remarks.
Representative Sandstrom summarized the substitute as addressing enforcement concerns and said it had been debated in committee and on the floor previously. With summation waived, the clerk opened and then closed voting. The clerk announced the tally as 59 yes, 15 no, and stated the substitute passes the House and will be transmitted to the Senate.
The House record shows the procedural actions (uncircle, replace, and recorded vote) and the sponsor's description of the statutory language inserted; the transcript reads the statute language as quoted above.
