Votes at a glance: Senate advances multiple bills on second/third reading
Summary
On a busy floor day the Utah Senate approved several bills with recorded tallies: SB32 (landowner liability) advanced unanimously to third reading, SB103 (aircraft liens) advanced unanimously, SB24 (hazardous/radioactive waste task-force bill) was read for third with expectation to circle on third reading, and HCR8 (Utah Manufacturers Association centennial) passed under suspension of rules.
The Utah Senate's floor session included a number of recorded actions on bills across policy areas. Notable outcomes recorded on the floor include:
- Senate Bill 32 (limitation of landowner liability for public recreation): Sponsor Senator Bell explained amendments to add equestrian uses and narrow-gauge hobby railroads; floor amendment adopted and the bill received 28 yes votes, 0 nays, 1 absent and was ordered to be read for the third time.
- Senate Bill 103 (liens on aircraft for labor and parts): Senator Hatch described amendments clarifying priority relative to tax liens and secured lenders and aligning lien procedures with FAA registration requirements; amendment adopted. SB103 received 28 yes votes, 0 nays, 1 absent and will be read for the third time.
- Senate Bill 24 (hazardous and radioactive waste task-force bill): Senator Bramble described the bill as closing loopholes on certain waste streams, increasing oversight, and addressing fee rounding; sponsor expects to circle the bill on third reading to incorporate major modifications. Recorded preliminary action advanced the bill toward third reading with a recorded favorable vote earlier in the day.
- House Concurrent Resolution 8 (recognizing the Utah Manufacturers Association): The Senate lifted the resolution under suspension of the rules and approved final passage so the association can read it at its luncheon; passage recorded and the resolution will be signed by the Senate president in open session.
These items were acted on as part of the day’s calendar; some bills were passed with no dissent while others were circled for further modification and stakeholder consultation.
