House unanimously passes first substitute to reorganize Department of Administrative Services
Summary
First substitute HB 103, shifting the Division of Administrative Services to an Office of Administrative Services, passed the Utah House by voice vote (recorded as 68–0). Sponsor Representative Oda said the substitution corrected a fiscal notice error and left the net fiscal impact at zero.
Representative Oda sponsored first substitute HB 103, telling members the measure converts the division into an office and realigns staff responsibilities. "What we're doing in administrative services, we're changing it from a division of administrative services to an office of administrative services," Oda said, describing a reorganization that retains the same resources while reallocating duties for rule reading and automation.
Oda acknowledged an earlier fiscal-notice error that had shown a $145,000 change; the substitute corrected that to a net fiscal note of $0. "The net effect of the fiscal notice [is] 0," the sponsor said. Summation was waived and the House opened voting. Representative Ivory announced the tally: "First substitute House Bill 103, having received 68 yes votes, 0 no votes, passes this body, and will be referred to the Senate for its consideration." The bill will advance to the Senate as passed by the House.
What happens next: With passage in the House, the first substitute will proceed to the Senate for consideration under that chamber's procedures.
