The Utah House completed a packed floor calendar on March 10, 2011, taking up a mix of concurrence items, substituted bills and stand-alone measures. Highlights of final actions taken during the day's session include:

- Numerous other bills were substituted, circled, or sent to conference committee; communications from the Senate listed many bills transmitted for signature or further action and the House appointed a conference committee where the Senate refused to concur on an item.
These actions will be transmitted for enrollment, signature and further consideration by the Senate where required. The House recessed at the end of the day until 2 p.m.
