Senate sends dozens of bills to third reading and to the House after widespread unanimous and recorded votes
Summary
The Utah Senate advanced and passed numerous bills on Feb. 5'6, 2001, including protective-order amendments, telephone-harassment changes, licensing and criminal procedure changes, transportation measures and various committee-recommended bills; several passed unanimously or with broad majorities and were referred to the House or to third-reading calendars.
During the session Senators handled many bills across multiple policy areas. Highlights recorded on the floor include: SB134 (protective order amendments) passed and was referred to the House; SB141 (telephone harassment amendment) passed (24 ayes recorded); SB145 (Metropolitan Water District board amendments) passed and moved to the House; SB19 (ice-cream/distribution competition amendment) passed (26 ayes recorded); SB88 (theft of rental motor vehicle) passed (recorded as 25 ayes on the floor after a brief tally clarification); numerous other bills (SB110 circled, SB110 was circled pending amendment; SB110 later circled) were circled or placed for further action. Committees reported favorable recommendations for multiple bills and the Senate adopted committee reports by voice votes.
Most motions were resolved via roll-call or voice votes and many bills were placed on the third-reading calendar or referred to the House for enrollment. Several bills were noted as "passed and referred to the House for further action" in the floor record. Where the transcript gives roll-call tallies, they are reflected in the bill entries below and are cited from the floor record.
