Utah Senate passes First Substitute Senate Bill 180 under suspension of rules
Summary
The Utah Senate on Feb. 25, 1998, suspended the rules and passed First Substitute Senate Bill 180 by a recorded tally of 15 yeas, 10 nays and 4 absent; the bill will be sent to the House for its action.
The Utah Senate on Feb. 25, 1998, voted to suspend the rules and advance First Substitute Senate Bill 180 for final passage. The presiding officer announced the bill received 15 yea votes, 10 nay votes and 4 absences and that it will be transmitted to the House for consideration.
The motion to suspend the rules and read First Substitute Senate Bill 180 for the required readings was made on the floor by an unnamed legislator (identified in the transcript as Speaker 2) and put to a voice vote, which carried. The chamber then proceeded to a final, roll-call-style vote. President Beatty (as referenced in the session) declared the result and stated the tally and that the bill passes the Senate.
During an earlier exchange concluding prior business, an unidentified senator asked whether student-run university pharmacy programs would be treated like private pharmacies; an unidentified respondent cited the bill text on the bottom of page 6 and page 7 saying uses for teaching, educational or research purposes are exempt. That clarification preceded the procedural motion to advance SB 180.
Outcome and next steps: First Substitute Senate Bill 180 passed the Senate and, according to the presiding officer’s announcement on the floor, will be sent to the House for its action. The transcript does not record a named mover’s second, nor details of amendments adopted on the floor; the recorded vote tally was provided on the floor and is reported above.
