The Utah State Senate met in floor session to take up a mix of House and Senate measures, approving a set of bills on the consent calendar and advancing numerous Senate bills. The session included final passage of House Bill 27 (timing of party caucuses), which the clerk reported passed on final roll call with 22 ayes and seven absent. Several other House bills on the consent calendar — including HB 160 (bail commissioner revisions), HB 115 (marriage of minors), and HB 124 (Olympics volunteers workers’ compensation) — were approved and returned to the House.
