Summary

Senators approved First Substitute SB232, described on the floor as a reporting requirement concerning campaign contributions and reported to have no fiscal impact; the bill passed unanimously and will go to the House.

The Utah State Senate on Feb. 26, 1999, approved First Substitute Senate Bill 232, which sponsors described as a reporting requirement for campaign contributions rather than a limiter on contribution amounts.

Sen. Fulton told the chamber that the measure "does not limit the amount of a contribution" and that it is "just a reporting requirement." The Senate also heard that the fiscal note attached to the bill indicated no fiscal impact.

Sen. Steel asked for clarification about the potential volume of reporting an organization receiving these contributions might face; the sponsor and other senators responded that they did not anticipate a fiscal impact. After floor discussion the question was called and the clerk announced the bill had received 29 "aye" votes, which was reported as unanimous.

The bill was transmitted to the House for further consideration.
