Senate reads long House consent list, transmits multiple bills
Summary
The Senate clerk read a lengthy list of House-passed bills and resolutions placed on the consent calendar and transmitted to the Senate; Chief Clerk Carol Peterson signed communications and several measures were referred to committees or sent on for signatures and further action.
The Senate opened with a communications reading from the House listing numerous bills transmitted “on consent” to the Senate for further action. Chief Clerk Carol Peterson read items that included tax recodification measures, property-tax and income-tax policy items, a Utah Housing Finance Agency resolution and multiple education and state-government amendments; the communications were signed and filed for the record.
The reading covered dozens of bills and resolutions moved by the House and noted that many would be referred to the rules committee or transmitted for executive signature. The clerk’s reading and signature completed the formal notification process required to move the House-passed items into the Senate’s workflow.
Procedural notes recorded during the reading included referral of first-reading items to the rules committee and the transmission of items requiring the president’s signature in open session. The reading concluded with the clerk signaling that the listed bills would be processed and that the Senate would take up individual items in subsequent floor work.
