Votes at a glance: Utah Senate moves several bills to the next stage
Summary
On Jan. 22, 1999 the Utah Senate advanced multiple bills — including SB9 (long‑term care fiscal note), SB79 (manufactured‑home tax exemption), SB75 (identity fraud), SB83 (Heber Valley Railroad reauthorization) and others — and placed several items on the third‑reading calendar or sent them to the House.
A summary of roll‑call outcomes from the Utah State Senate floor on Jan. 22, 1999:
- Substitute Senate Bill 9 (Long Term Care Amendment): sponsor reported a fiscal note (approximately $75,000 in FY 2000/2001 plus $50,000 setup); Senate recorded 29 ayes and sent the bill to the House for consideration.
- Senate Bill 79 (sales‑tax exemption for manufactured homes): floor debate on sunsets and intent; corrected roll call announced 28 ayes and 1 nay; bill will be transmitted to the House.
- Substitute Senate Bill 75 (identity fraud): passed (announced 28 ayes, 1 absent) and sent to the House.
- Senate Bill 83 (Heber Valley Historic Railroad Authority reauthorization): passed unanimously (29 ayes) and will be transmitted to the House.
- Senate Bill 24 (theft and property damage amendments), Senate Bill 30 (drug‑dealing penalty amendment), Senate Bill 7 (Youth Parole Authority amendment) and other items were sent to the third‑reading calendar following roll calls announced on the floor.
These items were taken as a series of largely noncontroversial floor actions or short debates; several bills that drew extended debate (for example SB20, SB74, SB10, SB14) were handled separately or circled for further work.
