Votes at a glance: House approves several consent bills, procedural motions advance other items
Summary
On Feb. 14 the Utah House approved consent-calendar measures including HB265 (71-0) and SB37 (72-0), carried procedural motions to recall HB219 and to reconsider HB50, and granted a request to open a bill file honoring Jerry Sloan by unanimous consent.
The Utah House on Monday approved multiple consent-calendar measures and processed several procedural items during its floor session.
On the consent calendar, House Bill 265 (Motor Vehicle Emissions Amendments) was described as requiring counties to follow their state implementation plans for emissions; it passed the House 71-0 and will be transmitted to the Senate. Senate Bill 37 (Emergency Food Agency Amendments), sponsored in the House by Representative Menlove, corrects a statutory omission by adding food pantries to the definition of qualified emergency food agencies during a declared emergency; it passed 72-0 and will be returned to the Senate.
The House also moved several procedural items: Representative Dee moved to recall House Bill 219 from the Senate for a revote because Senate amendments had not been provided; that motion carried on voice vote. A motion under suspension of the rules to reconsider actions on House Bill 50 (school termination procedures modifications) was made and carried; HB50 was circled on the third-reading calendar and placed at the top for further consideration. Representative Ray requested leave to open a bill file to run a resolution honoring Jerry Sloan; the request was granted by unanimous consent.
Summary of recorded outcomes on the floor session:
- HB265 (Motor Vehicle Emissions Amendments): passed 71-0; transmitted to the Senate. - SB37 (Emergency Food Agency Amendments): passed 72-0; returned to the Senate for signatures. - HB103 (County election amendments): passed 48-24; transmitted to the Senate (covered in separate item). - HB219 (recall for revote): recall motion carried (voice vote); revote planned. - HB50 (school termination procedures): reconsideration motion carried; bill circled for third reading. - Request to open resolution file honoring Jerry Sloan: granted by unanimous consent.
These actions advance a mix of technical statutory fixes, procedural steps, and consent-calendar legislation to the next stage of consideration.
