House approves tax commission, judicial-evaluation amendments; both bills to return to Senate
Summary
The Utah House amended and approved First Substitute Senate Bill 16 (tax fee/charge administration) and First Substitute Senate Bill 212 (judicial evaluation) and will return both to the Senate. SB16 passed 60-7; SB212 passed unanimously, 67-0.
The Utah House acted on multiple Senate bills in morning floor business. First Substitute Senate Bill 16 (state tax commission fee and charge administration) was recalled to add a coordinating clause with House Bill 82; Representative Dougal moved Amendment No. 1, the chamber adopted it, and the House passed the bill 60-7. The bill will be returned to the Senate for further consideration.
First Substitute Senate Bill 212 (Judicial Evaluation Amendments) drew a short explanation from House sponsor Representative Oda: a Senate amendment adjusts an average test-score percentage from 67% to 65% to simplify calculation. Representative McKiff endorsed the measure; summation was waived and the House passed the bill 67-0. The bill will be signed by the Speaker and transmitted to the Senate President.
Both measures were procedural floor actions returning the amended bills to the Senate; neither bill’s final implementation details were altered beyond the recorded amendment language on the floor.
