House votes at a glance: March 1, 2011 — key measures passed and procedural actions
Summary
On March 1 the Utah House passed multiple measures and carried several procedural actions, including concurrence on HB204 (concussion protections), passage of HB224 (RFID implant prohibition), HB434 (planning commission cleanup), HB134 (frontline teacher data), and HCR14 (wildlands resolution). This roundup lists outcomes and vote tallies.
The Utah House took a series of votes on March 1, 2011. Key outcomes recorded on the floor are listed below:
- First Substitute House Bill 204 (concussion protections, concurrence with Senate amendments): passed the House and was reported as "passed this body with 62 yes votes and 2 no votes" and will be transmitted to the Senate (sponsor explained tightened definition of concussion and a ski-resort exemption).
- Second Substitute House Bill 224 (prohibits compelled subcutaneous RFID implantation): passed 68 yes, 0 no and will be transmitted to the Senate.
- House Bill 434 (planning commission/township cleanup; trigger date for election compliance): passed 69 yes, 0 no and will be transmitted to the Senate.
- First Substitute House Bill 110 (teacher salary supplement appeals): floor record contains inconsistent counts. The clerk first announced "67 yes votes and 7 no votes" and then restated the vote as "62 yes votes and 7 no votes." The bill was recorded as passed and will be transmitted to the Senate; clerical restatement is noted.
- First Substitute House Bill 134 (collection of frontline teacher data): passed under suspension of rules and recorded as 62 yes, 11 no; will be transmitted to the Senate.
- House Concurrent Resolution 14 (condemning the process for Secretarial Order No. 3310 and urging DOI to preserve open processes): passed 67 yes, 4 no; will be transmitted to the Senate.
- Second Substitute House Bill 287 (restructuring Department of Community and Culture): uncircled and later passed 74 yes, 0 no and will be transmitted to the Senate.
- House Bill 438 (Water Quality Board amendments): passed 58 yes, 15 no and will be transmitted to the Senate.
Several motions to circle or uncircle bills and requests for leave to open bill files were also granted during the session. Where the clerk’s floor statements contained inconsistent vote tallies, this roundup notes the discrepancy rather than resolving it from outside sources.
