Votes at a glance: Utah House passes several measures, adopts Korean War veterans resolution
Summary
On Feb. 1–2, 2016 the Utah House approved several bills on the consent and third‑reading calendars, including H.B. 89 (73–0), H.B. 72 (70–0), H.B. 36 as amended (72–1), and S.C.R. 7 (73–0). Second substitute H.B. 116 failed (33–39).
Here are key floor actions taken by the Utah House on Feb. 1–2, 2016.
H.B. 89 — Office of State Debt Collection reporting amendments (Representative Katy Hall) Representative Katy Hall said a legislative review found the annual report required by statute was unnecessary; the committee unanimously recommended repeal. The bill passed on the floor and will be transmitted to the Senate after a 73–0 vote.
H.B. 72 — Timeshare amendments (Representative Frower) Representative Frower described updates to Utah’s timeshare code to reflect modern industry practice and said the national association ARDA helped draft much of the language. The House passed H.B. 72, 70–0, sending it to the Senate.
H.B. 36 — Insurance revisions (Representative James A. Dunnigan) Representative Dunnigan moved and the House adopted Amendment No. 3 (technical cleanup; clarifies employee status for small‑business owners working 30+ hours; strengthens fraud reporting). H.B. 36 as amended passed the House, 72–1, and will go to the Senate.
S.C.R. 7 — Concurrent resolution honoring those who assisted Korean War veterans (Senator Iwamoto; House sponsor Representative Moss) Representative Moss introduced two veterans who had led outreach to identify and honor Korean War veterans. The House adopted the resolution under suspension of the rules by a 73–0 vote.
Other procedural actions First substitute H.B. 138 (consumer electronic device recycling report amendments) was corrected and placed on the consent calendar; multiple standing committee reports and rules assignments were read and adopted. A motion to recall H.B. 11 (referendum amendments) passed on a recorded vote (44–27) and the bill was placed atop the third‑reading calendar for further consideration.
What happened to H.B. 116 Second substitute H.B. 116 (determination of employer status amendments) was debated at length but failed on a recorded vote, 33–39, and was returned to staff for filing.
