Utah Senate approves 1999 bond and capital facilities bill after amendment
Summary
Senate Bill 2, a 1999 bond and capital facilities package that includes university projects and revenue bonds, was amended on the floor to clarify institutional funding authority and passed to the House (26‑0).
Senators approved Senate Bill 2, the 1999 bond and capital facilities bill, after the sponsor, Senator Wendell Evans, moved floor amendments to allow certain institutions to use institutional funds for planning and construction under DFCM oversight.
Senator Evans asked the body to accept technical and project clarifications; senators noted projects listed on the bill’s back page including university facilities and parking structures. After the amendment was adopted and the final question called, the clerk announced the bill passed by roll call: "Senate bill 2 has 26 aye votes, no nay votes, 3 being absent," and the measure will be sent to the House for consideration and enrollment.
The amendment and the passage were handled under a suspension of rules because the item appeared on the concurrence calendar in substituted form.
