Senate advances multiple bills to third reading; summary of roll‑call results
Summary
On Feb. 25, 2004 the Utah Senate advanced a slate of bills to the third‑reading calendar and took a mixture of passage and tabling actions. Tallies recorded on the floor are summarized below with procedural notes.
The Utah Senate moved a number of bills onto the third‑reading calendar during the Feb. 25 floor session. The clerk’s rolls recorded the following outcomes in the transcript excerpt:
- House Bill 60 (Protection of children in foster care): 25 aye, 0 nay, 4 absent — passed to third reading. - House Bill 83 (State retirement funded ratio): 24 aye, 0 nay, 5 absent — passed to third reading. - House Bill 253 (Retirement office amendment): 24 aye, 0 nay, 5 absent — passed to third reading. - HCR 4 (Resolution encouraging lifetime retirement savings accounts): 23 aye, 2 no, 4 absent — passed to third reading. - House Bill 79 (Right to display flag at personal residence): 21 aye, 2 no, 6 absent — passed to third reading. - Substitute House Bill 51 (nonresident OHV user fee): 22 aye, 0 nay, 7 absent — passed to third reading. - House Bill 88 (State land use management plans with amendments): 22 aye, 0 nay, 7 absent — passed to third reading (floor adopted amendments including a change from 5 business days to 14 days for local responses). - First substitute House Bill 71 (water conservation plans): 20 aye, 2 no, 1 absent — passed to third reading. - Second substitute House Bill 92 (brucellosis vaccination): 26 aye, 0 nay, 3 absent — passed to third reading. - House Bill 247 (task force studying water issues): 27 aye, 0 nay, 2 absent — passed to third reading, then later tabled on the third‑reading calendar because of fiscal concerns. - House Bill 255 (Wildlife restitution amendments): 26 aye, 0 nay, 3 absent — passed to third reading.
Several matters were circled for later consideration (for example HB 189 and SB 191) so senators could review substitute texts electronically before floor work. The Senate adjourned after setting a reconvene time for 9:00 AM the next day.
Note: All vote tallies and procedural notes are taken from the floor transcript; in at least one instance (SB 245) the transcript includes a partially garbled roll‑call printout and the article avoids asserting a precise numeric tally for that item while reporting passage.
