Several bills advanced on the Utah Senate floor Feb. 19, often by recorded roll-call. Highlights from the day’s votes and procedural outcomes follow:
- SB 136 (Uniform Consumer Credit Code amendments): Amendment restricting a ‘‘void’’ provision to depository institutions was adopted and the bill passed on roll call with 26 ayes, 0 nays, 3 absent; sent to the House for consideration (SEG 276–356).
- SB 94 (Pharmacy Practice Act — immunizations by pharmacists): A verbal amendment was adopted; senators debated medical association review and expected safeguards; roll call recorded 27 ayes, 0 nays, 2 absent; bill passed to the House (SEG 390–517).
- SB 228 (Public school surveys): After extended debate and failed amendment to remove a presumption of consent, the Senate passed SB 228 (18 ayes, 10 nays, 1 absent) and transmitted it to the House (SEG 518–1431).
- SB 122 (Dangerous weapons / concealed carry; Olympic exceptions): The substitute bill with liability-narrowing and technical amendments passed the Senate on roll call (recorded 19 ayes, 6 nays, 4 absent) after debate and adopted amendments (SEG 1576–2187).
- Other bills placed on consent or moved to third-reading/consent calendars included multiple House and Senate measures assigned to committees or placed on consent (committee reports and consent recommendations reported throughout SEG 058–083 and SEG 137–178). Several bills (for example, SB 81, SB 110, SB 211) were reported favorably and placed on calendars; where recorded tallies were given in the transcript those are noted above.
Procedure note: Several bills were circled (set aside) for further amendment or substituted to incorporate floor amendments; Senate leaders directed staff to post substituted texts and amendments online so the public and legislators could review final language over the weekend (SEG 3360–3660).
This tally list reflects the roll-call outcomes and procedural statements recorded in the Feb. 19 Senate floor transcript.
