House floor roundup: dozens of Senate measures concurred with or passed on March 11, 2011
Summary
The House considered and acted on a wide set of Senate-transmitted measures on March 11, including concurrence with Senate amendments and final passage of numerous bills; several measures passed unanimously or with large margins and were returned to the Senate for signature.
During its March 11 session the Utah House took routine and final actions on a large number of Senate-transmitted measures, including concurrence with Senate amendments, adoption of amendments on the floor in a few cases, and recorded final passage votes.
Notable outcomes recorded on the floor include: HB107 (Volunteer Firefighters Retirement Amendments), concurrence and final passage (71 yes, 0 no); HB220 (Civics Education Amendments), concurrence and final passage (54 yes, 14 no); HB334 (Family Expense Amendments), concurrence and final passage (51 yes, 15 no); first substitute SB308 (public employee benefit and insurance program cleanup), passage recorded 70 yes, 0 no; second substitute SB100 (Securities Fraud Reporting Program Act), passage recorded 65 yes, 3 no; and multiple other Senate bills were read into the record and either circled, amended, or passed and sent back to the Senate for signature.
Floor clerks and sponsors routinely waived summation on many bills, and several measures were described as technical or "cleanup" bills. The House also handled motions to return bills to the Senate (for example, second substitute SB261) and routine procedural items such as recognizing visitors and taking a brief recess.
Where the transcript contains ambiguous or garbled tallies (an instance of mid-floor clarifying corrections appears in the record), the article uses the vote language reported aloud by the clerk on the House floor.
