Utah House Bill 319 passes on technical justice-court updates
Summary
House Bill 319, titled Justice Court Revisors, passed the Senate on a roll-call vote after sponsors described the measure as making technical name and terminology changes for justice-court offices; the bill will be sent for the president's signature.
House Bill 319, described on the floor as the "Justice Court Revisors" package, passed the Utah Senate after brief floor discussion. Gerald Jensen was recorded on the floor in connection with the item and sponsors said the bill makes technical changes, including updates to the title "justice of the peace" and related terminology.
Senators called the question after a short explanation. The roll-call tally announced on the floor recorded 24 aye votes, 0 nay votes and 5 absent. The clerk announced the bill will be held for the signature of the president.
Because sponsors presented HB 319 as technical corrections rather than a policy change, senators moved quickly through consideration with no amendments offered. The bill will proceed to the signature stage as announced by the presiding officer.
