Votes at a glance: Utah Senate advances several bills, holds others for reconsideration
Summary
On Feb. 10 the Utah Senate passed bills including SB127 (off‑highway vehicle sunset extension), SB126 (credit reporting), SB148 (oversize/overweight vehicles) and SB147 (records‑request funding); SB98 (voter registration) was circled/held for further action. Multiple procedural motions and citations were also approved.
The Utah State Senate’s Feb. 10 session disposed of several bills on third reading and took procedural steps on others.
Passed on the floor: - Senate Bill 127 (off‑highway vehicle account): Senators approved an amendment changing the review date and passed the bill (reported on the floor as 25 ayes, 0 nays, 4 absent).
- Senate Bill 147 (adequate funding for records requests): Presented by Sen. David Steele and passed after no floor questions (reported 23 ayes, 6 nays).
- Senate Bill 126 (credit reporting/credit service organizations): Passed on third reading (reported as 24 ayes, 0 nays, 5 absent).
- Senate Bill 148 (oversize and overweight vehicles): After a recently distributed fiscal note (pre‑amendment estimated revenue decrease $985.05) the bill was amended to be revenue neutral and passed (reported 26 ayes, 0 nays, 3 absent).
Held or scheduled for reconsideration: - Senate Bill 98 (Voter Registration): Senators initially moved to 'circle' (hold) SB98 while they confirmed how Utah's federal delegation voted on the national voter‑registration legislation. The body later agreed to hold SB98 for 24 hours and served notice to reconsider the action under legislative‑day rules.
Other floor actions included concurrence on a range of House‑passed measures transmitted earlier in the morning and recognition citations presented to the Unincorporated Association of Counties and to Samuel J. Taylor.
These outcomes were recorded in the Senate session and will be reflected in the journal. Where the floor transcript gives specific tallies, the article relies on the session’s reported roll‑call counts; official journal entries should be consulted for the definitive record.
