Senate passes SB41 27-0; senators agree to 'encircle' SB29 for later consideration
Summary
On the floor the Senate recorded a 27-0 vote (two absent) to pass Senate Bill 41 on third reading; another senator successfully asked to 'encircle' Senate Bill 29 for discussion the following day. No committee referrals or amendments were recorded in the transcript.
The Utah Senate completed action on Senate Bill 41 on third reading, and senators recorded the outcome as 27 aye, 0 nay with two members absent.
Senator Blackcomb announced his intention to vote in favor, saying he would "vote aye on 2 on this bill" and framed his support in terms of general tax and economic development policy. The roll-call/recorded count was read aloud and the result was announced as 27 aye, 0 nay; Senate Bill 41 therefore passed third reading during the session.
Separately, a senator asked to "encircle" Senate Bill 29 with the explicit intent to discuss it the following day because of time limits. The presiding officer called for those in favor and the assembly responded "aye," moving consideration of SB29 off the immediate calendar pending later discussion.
No amendments to SB41 or SB29 were recorded in the transcript and no further procedural actions (such as committee referrals or signatures for transmittal) were announced during the excerpted session. The Senate adjourned until 9:30 a.m. the next morning.
