Votes at a glance: several bills pass the Utah Senate Feb. 14, 2000
Summary
On Feb. 14 the Utah Senate recorded passage or advancement of multiple bills in relatively rapid succession, including unanimous passage of SB62 and recorded tallies for SB199, SB139, SB167, SB228, SB123 and others.
During the Feb. 14, 2000 floor session the Utah Senate disposed of numerous bill items by voice or roll call. Highlights from the day's recorded floor activity include:
- Senate Bill 199 (payment to dealer for vehicle use): Sponsor explained dealers may charge mileage when a vehicle is returned due to incomplete paperwork; President announced "Senate bill 199 has 23 aye votes, no nay votes, 6 being absent" and the bill passed to the House for consideration (see floor roll call).
- Senate Bill 62 (tribal MOUs on off‑reservation hunting/fishing): Senator Beverly Evans presented the bill and the clerk recorded "Senate Bill 62 has 29 aye votes, which is unanimous" and it will be sent to the House.
- Substitute Senate Bill 139 (farmland assessment rollback after eminent domain): Sponsor explained protections for greenbelt owners; clerk recorded the bill had 27 aye votes, no nay votes, and it passed to the House.
- Senate Bill 167 and Senate Bill 228 (municipal energy use taxes and related computations): Sponsors explained the companion bills; recorded roll calls indicate unanimous or near‑unanimous support on final passage for the items discussed that day (floor sequences recorded unanimous 29‑aye tallies on companion items).
- Senate Bill 123 (Heritage Highway appropriation): Sponsor presented an appropriation item; clerk recorded 'Senate Bill 123 has 26 aye votes, 3 nay votes' and it passed to the third reading calendar.
These floor actions reflect a largely productive work session: several bills passed unanimously or with strong majorities, while more complex items (for example SB49 on child support) were circled for further technical correction.
