Senate notifies House it overrode governor—s veto on House Bill 3; House revises record and adjourns

The Utah Senate on April 18, 2018 notified the House that it had overridden the governor—s veto on appropriations adjustments in House Bill 3, line item 2, by a vote of 23 yays, 4 nays and 2 absent, the Senate—s clerk reported. "The Senate by a vote of 23 yays, 4 nays, 2 absent, overrode the governor's veto of House Bill 3 appropriations adjustments ... and has returned for transmission to the Lieutenant Governor," the communication read, signed by Leslie McLean, secretary of the Senate.

The House responded by directing the clerks to notify the governor's office of the override and by instructing Chief Clerk Sandy Tenney to "read, revise, and make minor corrections to the house, and be responsible" for an accurate record of the proceedings. The presiding member then moved to adjourn the veto-override session; after a voice vote and members calling "aye," the motion passed and the House adjourned.

The action reported by the Senate pertains specifically to House Bill 3, line item 2 (appropriations adjustments). The Senate communication was delivered on the House floor and returned the overridden measure for transmission to the lieutenant governor, per the clerk's statement. Beyond the vote tally reported by the Senate, the transcript does not record roll-call names for the Senate vote, nor does it specify the precise policy content of line item 2 in this excerpt.

Proceedings concluded with routine housekeeping to ensure the House record reflected the veto-override action from the 2018 general session; no additional motions or amendments are recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
