House adopts conference committee report on HB61; opens final vote
Summary
The Utah House adopted the conference committee report on House Bill 61 (clean air programs), approving an amendment that allows use of one-time funds rather than ongoing money, and then opened voting for final passage.
Representative Draxler moved that the House adopt the joint conference committee report on House Bill 61, a measure on clean air programs. He told the chamber, "We adopted them an amendment that facilitated the use of 1 time money instead of ongoing funding." The Speaker put the motion and, with no discussion taken, the House adopted the report.
After adopting the conference committee report, the Speaker opened voting for final passage of House Bill 61. A clerk was asked about the tally; the transcript records an exchange but does not specify a final roll-call count or the recorded yes/no votes.
The conference committee report named Senators Vickers, Hankins, and DeBackus and Representatives Draxler, Arendt, and Snow as the joint committee members that negotiated the changes. The amendment adopted during conference shifts funding authority to permit one-time money in place of ongoing appropriations for the bill’s specified programs.
As of the close of the recorded segment, the House had adopted the conference committee report and voting on final passage was underway; the transcript does not include the certified final vote numbers or any subsequent enactment steps.
