House approves fishing-license changes, veterans' college-credit bill and other measures
Summary
On Jan. 30, the Utah House passed multiple measures on the third-reading calendar, including HB 28 to expand fishing-license options (72–0), HB 32 on college credit for veterans (72–0), and advanced SJR 6 and Senate bill 25 to the Senate third-reading calendar.
The Utah House on Thursday handled a number of bills on the third-reading calendar, approving new license options for anglers, a veterans’ college-credit measure and advancing several items to the Senate.
House Bill 28, sponsored by Representative Noel, gives the Wildlife Board authority to create additional single- and multiple-year fishing licenses and set expiration limits while preserving public notice and committee oversight. The House approved HB 28, 72–0, and the measure will be transmitted to the Senate.
House Bill 32, sponsored by Representative Cosgrove and developed by the veterans reintegration task force, requires state colleges and universities to notify veteran students that they must meet with college counselors to pursue accreditation of military training and experience and to facilitate transfer of credit among institutions. The House approved HB 32, 72–0.
On interchamber matters, the clerk transmitted Senate Bill 28 (Utah retirement amendments) and SJR 6 (a joint resolution authorizing pay for in-session employees) from the Senate; the body moved SJR 6 from rules and placed it on the Senate third-reading calendar under suspension of the rules.
Other procedural actions: the House adopted committee reports assigning many introduced bills to standing committees (education; health and human services; judiciary; law enforcement and criminal justice; natural resources, agriculture and environment; revenue and taxation; transportation).
What’s next: Passed bills will be transmitted to the Senate for consideration; several bills were assigned to committees for further review.
