House reads multiple Senate communications; speaker to sign and enroll bills
Summary
On March 13, 2014, the Reading Clerk recited a package of bills and resolutions transmitted from the Senate; the Speaker signed a set of measures to be enrolled and returned to the Senate, and the chamber recessed for a 20-minute majority caucus.
The Reading Clerk read multiple communications from the Senate dated March 13, 2014, listing bills being transmitted for signature and enrollment. Items read included second substitute House Bill 117 (patent infringement amendments), second substitute House Bill 168 (school and institutional trust lands and funds management provisions), House Bill 221 (school community council revisions), House Bill 329 (programs for youth protection), first substitute House Bill 356 (new convention facility development incentive provisions), and second substitute House Bill 394 (campaign finance revisions). The Speaker announced those measures would be signed by the Speaker and referred to staff for enrolling.
The Reading Clerk also reported the Senate had refused to recede from its amendments to third substitute House Bill 150 (STEM amendments by Representative Val Peterson) and had appointed a conference committee of Senators Urquhart, Vickers, and Davis to meet with a House committee on that bill. Separately, the Clerk recited several Senate-passed bills that the Senate concurred in the House amendments on, including Senate Bill 16 (veterans tuition gap coverage) and a group of other Senate bills that would be signed by the Speaker and returned to the Senate for the President's signature.
During a personal-privilege moment, Representative Frower introduced guests in the chamber, including "Mr. Spencer Chin originally from Taiwan, now a well known business person in Weber County," and a recently retired city official from China. Later in the session, a representative moved that the House recess for 20 minutes so the majority caucus could meet; the motion passed and the House recessed.
