Votes at a glance: key bills passed on the Utah Senate floor (March 2–3, 1993)
Summary
The Senate moved dozens of House and Senate bills through second/third readings and recorded roll-call votes on multiple measures. This roundup lists prominent bills acted on during the session and their recorded outcomes as noted on the floor.
The Utah Senate’s March 2–3, 1993 floor session advanced a long list of bills. Below are the prominent bills the Senate put to a recorded vote or that were discussed and sent back to the House during this session (outcomes are those recorded on the Senate floor):
- Senate Bill 109 (county option funding for botanical, cultural, and zoological organizations): Passed; recorded on the floor as 24 ayes, no nays, 5 absent. The bill was transmitted to the House for further action.
- House Bill 151 (HIV testing for convicted offenders and victims of certain offenses): Passed; floor tally reported as 25 ayes, no nays, 4 absent.
- House Bill 162 (jail reimbursement to counties): Amended on the floor to cap the initial appropriation at $250,000 and passed by recorded vote 22 ayes, 7 nays (see full article on HB162).
- House Bill 88 (recodification of Department of Administrative Services): Passed with a recorded floor tally of 26 ayes, 3 absent.

- House Bill 34 and House Bill 35 (gang prevention/suppression appropriations): The Senate amended fiscal notes and passed these priority funding items after floor motions and a reconsideration; recorded tallies were entered on the floor and the bills were sent to the House (fiscal-note adjustments were made on the floor; see transcript for precise line-item numbers).
- Substitute House Bill 105 (DFCM/ARNI provisions, capital funding): The Senate adopted an amendment and later agreed to the amendment that phased in certain requirements; action required return to House for enrollment.
- Second Substitute House Bill 206 (local taxation of utilities / franchise tax methodology): Passed by recorded vote; floor tally reported as 22 ayes, 4 nays, 3 absent. Sponsors said the bill reflects a multi-stakeholder compromise.
- House Bill 48 (public education class-size reduction): The Senate adopted an amendment inserting an $11,053,098 appropriation and passed the bill on the floor.
- Additional bills passed or concurred: multiple other bills were read, circled, or passed on the floor and returned to the House; the full roll-call lists and minute-by-minute tallies are in the official transcript and clerk’s journal.
Notes on tallies: The tallies above reflect the vote counts as read into the Senate journal on the floor during this session. Where the transcript recorded only that a bill ‘‘passes’’ without a full roll-call readout in the excerpt provided here, the article notes the bill as passed and refers readers to the clerk’s journal for the complete roll-call record.
What’s next: Most passed bills were transmitted to the House for further action or for the president’s signature in open session. A small set of bills were circled for further fiscal verification or technical corrections pending the Senate rules committee review.
