Votes at a glance: student-data breach, EMS, interlocal entity law and other floor actions
Summary
On Feb. 12 the House passed several measures on third reading: HB163 (student data breach) 71–0; HB191 (EMS background checks) 71–0; HB201 (interlocal entities) 69–0; HB34 (personal injury damages amendments) 68–2; HB164 passed 58–11 and HB35 was circled.
During the Feb. 12 House session members disposed of multiple bills by roll-call or voice votes. Key outcomes:
- HB163 (Student data breach requirements): Passed 71–0. Representative Notwell said the bill requires education entities to notify parents of a breach of personally identifiable student information; there was no recorded opposition.
- HB191 (Utah Emergency Medical Services System Act amendments): Passed 71–0. Representative Ray described a move toward continual background checks for EMS personnel rather than point-in-time checks.
- HB201 (Interlocal entity amendments): Passed 69–0. Representative Nelson explained the bill separates 'taxed' interlocal entities from other interlocal entities so that laws applying to interlocal entities do not automatically apply to taxed entities unless expressly included.
- HB34 (Personal injury damages amendments): Passed 68–2. Representative McKiff said the bill clarifies existing law regarding a $100,000 cap on certain recoveries; no change to the cap was intended.
- HB35 (Parent time schedule amendments): Moved to 'circle' for additional background on a particular provision related to overnight visits and will be taken up later.
- HB164 (Grandparent rights amendments): See separate article; final passage recorded 58–11.
Several other Senate communications and first readings were read and referred to committee. The House adjourned to reconvene on Friday the 13th at 11 a.m.
