Summary
A roundup of notable roll-call outcomes from the Feb. 27 Utah Senate session, including passage to third reading or final passage for a set of education, bonding, public-safety, and administrative measures.
The Utah Senate held roll-call votes on numerous bills on Feb. 27. Key outcomes recorded on the floor include:
- House Bill 107 (tourism marketing corrections): Senate substituted and moved the second substitute to the top of the third-reading calendar; the second substitute was reported to have received 21 aye votes with no recorded nays on the floor call and was referred back to the House for further action.
- House Bill 273 (Education Protection Funding Program): First substitute was read for the third time and the presiding officer announced it had received 25 aye votes and no nays, placing it on the third-reading calendar.
- House Bill 64 (tuition waivers for wards of the state): Passed on a roll-call; the presiding officer announced 27 aye votes and no nays; the bill will be signed in open session and returned to the House for signature.
- Senate Bill 2 (2001 general obligation bond and capital facilities authorizations): After adoption of a conference committee report and debate on technical clarifications, the Senate voted final passage; the presiding officer announced SB2 passed with 26 aye votes, 1 nay, and 2 absent and will be referred to the House for the speaker's signature.
- First substitute Senate Bill 241 (Salt Lake County jail district): Passed on a call vote to the third-reading calendar with a recorded 27 ayes and 2 nays.
- Multiple other measures (e.g., House Bills 12, 162, 316, 349, 356 and others listed on the calendar) were reported passed to the third-reading calendar or otherwise acted on; the transcript records many roll-call tallies across the afternoon and evening session.
Notes on interpretation: Counts and roll-call tallies are reported on the floor by the presiding officer or clerk; in some segments the transcript includes garbled or duplicated readings of names or counts. Where the transcript clearly records a tallied total it is listed above; where the record was inconsistent the article notes referral or passage without repeating uncertain counts.
Provenance: The outcomes above are drawn from the Senate floor roll-call segments and conference committee reports read and adopted on Feb. 27, 2001 (see provenance).
