The Utah Senate acted on a series of consent and third-reading items during its Feb. 16 session. Highlights and recorded outcomes from the floor transcript follow:
- House Bill 69 (special-district election procedure): recorded as a unanimous consent vote with "a total of 21 aye votes, no nay votes, 8 being absent." The bill is to be signed and returned to the House.
- Substitute House Bill 257 (Capital Preservation Board duties): recorded as "22 aye votes, no nay votes, 7 being absent" after amendment; returned to the House.
- HCR 3 (resolution on affordable housing): approved by unanimous voice vote and directed to Congress; clerk recorded the unanimous vote.
- House Bill 14 (school safety plans): approved by unanimous voice vote and will be returned to the House for enrollment.
- Senate Bill 43 (marriage and family therapist licensing amendment) — passed on third reading (roll call recorded; clerk summary: 24 ayes, no nays, 5 absent).
- Substitute Senate Bill 204 (study of the health insurance industry): passed on second reading with roll call showing 26 ayes, no nays, 3 absent and transmitted to the House.
- Several other bills passed on roll call or were circled for further consideration, including SB 49 (child support), SB 61 (Nonprofit Corporation Act), SB 168 (UCC secure transactions), SB 222 (financial institutions amendment) and SB 102 (state money management amendment); recorded tallies and next steps were placed in the clerk's entries and the bills were referred to the House as appropriate.
These consent and third-reading items were presented as noncontroversial or had already passed committee unanimously; records in the transcript show the Senate using voice votes for the consent calendar and roll-call tallies for third readings when required.
