SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah House completed a string of floor actions on March 10, 2011, moving and recording votes on a set of bills sent to or returned from the Senate, and adopting a master interim study list.
Major recorded floor votes included:
- HGR24 (Master Study Resolution): recorded as receiving 67 yes and 0 no votes and therefore passed the House.
- House Bill 445 (First Substitute, Prison Relocation and Development Authority Act): lifted from the concurrence calendar and later passed the House with 69 yes votes and 0 no votes; the item will be transmitted to the Senate as required.
- Second Substitute House Bill 176 (Audit of State Budgets): the House concurred with Senate amendments and passed the bill on final passage with 66 yes votes and 6 no votes.
- Second Substitute House Bill 496 (Technology and Life Science Economic Development Act and Related Tax Credits): passed final passage with 64 yes votes and 8 no votes.
- First Substitute House Bill 138 (Federal receipts reporting requirements) and other concurrence items were acted on and were transmitted or returned to the Senate as appropriate; the House recorded final-passage votes on multiple items throughout the session.
In addition to these roll-call outcomes, members adopted a wide set of additions to the Master Study List (HGR24) by voice vote, including study items on step therapy for pain management (HB381), design-build procurement, legislative ethics, conservation hunting tags and fiscal impacts of extractive industries on state revenues.
Procedural note: several motions were handled by voice vote or unanimous response; where the transcript recorded roll-call tallies, those counts are listed above. The House recessed (moved to 'saunter') for a 10-minute break at the end of the day’s floor business.
