- Several other substitute bills were read in, circled, or placed on calendars for future consideration, including a bonding bill (SB 238) and special-district and licensing measures; some bills were referred to rules for enrollment and transmission to the governor.
This session combined routine concurrence votes, several unanimous or large-majority passages, and substantive floor debate on heavier items like HB 397 and SB 167 (Heber Creeper), which drew extended discussion.
