The Utah State Senate on Feb. 26, 1999, unanimously approved First Substitute Senate Bill 197 after lawmakers adopted a floor amendment that adjusts the bill’s bankruptcy-related timetable.
Sen. Hough moved an amendment that, according to the sponsor and proponents, "changes bankruptcy and inserts with 120 days." Senator Hahn described the change as agreed to by all parties and said it was not included in the original bill. Senators asked clarifying questions on the amendment; no recorded opposition emerged.
After debate, the Senate recorded the vote in favor of the measure. A chamber announcement indicated the substitute bill received 29 "aye" votes and was passed to the House for consideration.
The action on SB197 was procedural on the floor: the amendment was presented, debated briefly, and incorporated prior to the final passage vote. The Senate clerk confirmed the bill was sent to the House.
The Senate adjourned until Monday morning and will resume consideration of remaining measures then.
