Votes at a glance: key measures the Utah Senate passed Feb. 26, 1992
Summary
The Senate recorded final action on dozens of bills on Feb. 26, 1992, including higher-education revenue bonds, a supplemental appropriations bill, a clean-air-in-public-buildings measure, several tax and licensing changes, and multiple committee-reported House bills; this roundup lists major outcomes and tallies where recorded.
The Utah Senate spent much of Feb. 26, 1992 moving House and Senate measures through calendars and recorded final passage on a long list of bills. Below are the notable outcomes the Senate recorded on the floor during the day:
- House Bill 4 73 (Jail reimbursement to counties): Passed after an amendment deleting current-year appropriation and delaying implementation (roll-call totals read on the record). (See separate story.)
- House Bill 2 53 (Revenue bonds for higher education): Authorized Southern Utah University, Utah State University and Salt Lake Community College revenue‑bond projects; reported as passed by the Senate on final (26 ayes, no nays, 3 absent as read).
- Substitute House Bill 50 (Utah Revised Business Corporation Act; recodification): Passed after amendment and roll-call (27 ayes, 1 nay, 1 absent as read).
- Substitute House Bill 197 (Clean Air in Public Buildings): After amendment debate (including an amendment to permit one designated smoking room per building), the Senate passed the substitute and sent it to the House.
- House Bill 109 (Weapon-free school zones): Passed on final, with the Senate recording the vote and sending it to the House.
- House Bill 302 (Institute for Life Support in Space — NASA): Passed after amendment adding contingency language about selection of another state for the institute, and then final passage and transmittal to the House.
- Senate Bill 214 (Supplemental Appropriations Act): Read under suspension and placed for final passage on the record.
- Several other bills passed by recorded roll calls or voice votes, including HB96 (coal tax credit), HB72 (civil nuisance/eviction second substitute), HB72-related appropriations, HB254 (workers compensation), HB155 (probate/probate code amendments), HB371 series (county notice/state projects), and numerous agency and statutory housekeeping bills. Many bills were read under suspension of the rules and passed on recorded roll calls as noted by the clerk’s entries throughout the day.
What this means: The Senate used suspension-of-rules procedures for many items, advancing appropriations, policy amendments, and bills with relatively brief floor debate. Bills that passed on the final day are now in the process of enrollment or return to the House for final processing or the governor’s consideration.
Votes and tallies cited above are those read aloud on the Senate floor and transcribed in the session record.
