Summary
On Jan. 18 the Utah Senate advanced multiple bills and resolutions to third reading or to the House, including SB 74 (master road), SB 85 (administrative rules reauthorization), SCR 1 (satellite data resolution), SJR 2 (ethics rule), SB 20 (university competition), and SB 83 (unemployment amendments).
The Utah Senate on Jan. 18 moved a slate of bills forward and placed several items on consent or third-reading calendars. Key formal actions recorded by the clerk during the session included:
- Senate Bill 74 (Master Road Amendment): clerk recorded 24 aye votes, no nay votes, 5 absent; passed and will be transmitted to the House for consideration.
- Senate Bill 85 (Reauthorization of Administrative Rules): clerk recorded an affirmative roll-call; SB 85 advanced to the House/third-reading calendar (tally recorded in the session record).
- SCR 1 / FCR 1 (resolution petitioning U.S. government to release satellite data): recorded 28 aye votes and 1 absent; advanced to the House.
- SJR 2 (joint-rule ethics and procedure amendments): recorded 28 aye votes and 1 absent; advanced to third reading.
- SR 1 and SR 2 (Senate rules revisers and revisions): recorded as advanced to the third-reading calendar after floor questions and clarifications.
- Substitute Senate Bill 20 (government competition with private sector): advanced to third reading after floor debate (clerk recorded roll-call and advanced the bill).
- Senate Bill 83 (amendments to unemployment insurance): advanced to third reading following sponsor explanation; clerk recorded an affirmative roll-call.
Other bills were circled, encircled or placed on consent (for example SB 92, SB 91, SB 97, SB 105, SB 107, SB 13), and senators agreed at the floor to suspend the 24-hour rule to consider items on the second-reading calendar during this session. Where the transcript recorded inconsistent or garbled vote numbers, the session record was followed and ambiguous counts are noted as such in internal tracking.
