Votes at a glance: key floor actions and outcomes from the Feb. 12 Utah House session
Summary
The House approved a slate of technical and policy bills on Feb. 12, 2018 — including tax cleanups, criminal-code fixes and programmatic bills — while several controversial measures were debated. This roundup lists each bill and its floor outcome recorded in the session transcript.
The Feb. 12 floor session produced a series of committee-report adoptions and final-passage votes. The transcript records the following outcomes (roll-call tallies shown where recorded in the floor excerpt):
- HR3 (House Resolution 3, encouraging international education and exchanges): passed 68–0 (consent calendar) and sent to the lieutenant governor for enrollment.
- SB36 (local option sales and use tax distribution formula amendments): House passed (no recorded nay votes in excerpt) and returned to the Senate for presidential signature.
- SB37 (sales and use tax exemption amendments): passed 78–0 and returned to the Senate.
- First substitute HB65 (Ignition Interlock Amendments): passed (70 yea votes recorded).
- HB305 (Fire Code Amendments): passed 68–0 and sent to the Senate.
- Third substitute HB32 (Uniform Construction Code amendments): House concurred with Senate amendments and motion to concur passed (roll-call tally not shown in the excerpt).
- First substitute HB123 (Childcare licensing) with Senate amendments: House concurred and final passage recorded later as 78–0 in the transcript.
- First substitute HB75 (Child sexual abuse reporting amendments): recorded as 70–0 and reported to the Senate.
- First substitute HB77 (Criminal Code Amendments to clarify indecent liberties after State v. Ray): passed 69–0 and forwarded to the Senate.
- First substitute HB177 (Trauma-informed justice provisions): passed 78–0 and forwarded to the Senate; Representative Ivory moved and floor adopted an amendment adding the intergenerational welfare reform commission to the multidisciplinary trauma group.
- Second substitute HB143 (Off-highway vehicle amendments): passed 70–0 and forwarded to the Senate; sponsor said the bill redistributes registration fees and reduces some OHV fees so more funding goes to a restricted account for local projects.
- HB129 (Self-defense amendments): passed 58–11 and sent to the Senate.
Several items were placed on the third-reading calendar, others were circled (made immediately available) for later consideration, and routine committee and rules reports were read and adopted by voice vote. The floor transcript also shows many introductory remarks and ceremonial recognitions during the session.
What this means: Many of the measures were technical fixes, committee-driven substitutes or consensus votes; the session also included two extended policy debates (HB207 and HB125), the latter of which failed on final vote.
