Summary
The Utah Senate on Feb. 15 recorded votes advancing a slate of bills—including SB 64 (limited liability companies), SB 84 (Olympic fund amendments), SSB 77 (neighborhood development), SSB 93 (firearm‑locking device, as amended), Sub. HB 60 (dam safety), HB 8 (limitation of civil actions) and others—sending many back to the House or to third reading.
On Feb. 15, 1996, the Utah State Senate recorded floor actions on a wide set of measures and sent several back to the House for further consideration or to the third‑reading calendar. Measures approved in whole or with Senate amendments included substitute Senate Bill 64 (limited liability companies), Senate Bill 84 (Olympic Special Revenue Fund amendments), second substitute Senate Bill 77 (Utah Neighborhood Development Act amendments), and first substitute Senate Bill 93 (firearm locking device), among others.
Senate votes of note included: substitute Senate Bill 64 (concurrence with House amendments; recorded as unanimous in the roll‑call announced on the floor), Senate Bill 84 (24 ayes, 5 nays on concurrence), second substitute Senate Bill 77 (unanimous), substitute House Bill 60 (dam safety amendments; recorded 23 ayes, 3 nays, 3 absent when moved to third calendar), and a number of house bills placed on the third‑reading calendar after committee reports. Substitute House Bill 8 (limitation of civil actions) passed the third‑reading roll call after extended floor debate (recorded tallies are recorded in the journal and the body’s roll calls for that item).
Several bills were placed on the consent calendar after committee recommendations and were moved forward with the adoption of committee reports. The Senate also removed and placed circles as procedural motions to control scheduling for subsequent days’ calendars. The chamber adjourned until 9:30 a.m. the next morning.
The Senate’s floor journal and the official roll‑call records posted with the legislative services provide the complete tallies for each bill moved or passed during this session. The measures above reflect the primary recorded outcomes taken on Feb. 15, 1996.
