The Utah Senate advanced a slate of measures to the third‑reading calendar during its Feb. 23 session. Floor announcements recorded the following outcomes as read during the session (tallies are the clerk’s floor announcements as reported on the record):
- Second Substitute SB215 (County Powers Amendment): announced as receiving 21 aye votes, no nay votes, 8 being absent; moved to third reading.
- SB240 (Motion Picture Task Force): announced as receiving 23 aye votes, no nay votes, 6 being absent; moved to third reading.
- SJR9 (Ethnic Advisory Council resolution): announced as receiving 25 aye votes, no nay votes, 4 being absent; moved to third reading.
- SB241 (Future Farmers of America special license plate): announced as receiving 23 aye votes, no nay votes, 6 being absent; moved to third reading.
- SB62 (Stay of execution amendments): announced on the record as passed to third reading (floor announcement recorded the result as read on the floor).
- SB33 (Mobile Home Park Residency Act): announced as receiving favorable votes and moved to third reading; the floor reported the outcome as read.
- SB194 (Plumbing apprentice amendments): announced as receiving favorable votes and moved to third reading.
- First Substitute SB185 (State Board of Education nominating/recruiting committee): reported as receiving 21 aye votes, 7 no votes, 1 absent and was referred to the House for further consideration.
Notes on tallies and procedure: where the clerk’s floor tally was clear, this report reproduces the floor announcement verbatim; where the audio/recording on the floor produced unclear numeric text the floor announcement is noted as "as read on the floor." A number of bills were circled for later consideration rather than advanced.
What’s next: Measures on the third‑reading calendar may be brought back to the floor for final passage, amendment, or further debate at a subsequent session date; interested stakeholders should watch committee and floor schedules.
