The Utah State Senate approved multiple bills and joint rules resolutions on Jan. 26, 2005, sending them to the House for its consideration or signature.
On the third-reading calendar the Senate passed, among others, Senate Bill 5 (concurrence with a minor technical amendment) by voice and later roll call (24–0); Senate Bill 30 (amendments to search-warrant procedures) after being uncircled and taken up for final passage (25–0); Senate Bill 91 (interstate juvenile compact compliance), Senate Bill 93 (adding Iron County to Children's Justice Center eligibility), Senate Bill 94 (restitution amendments), Senate Bill 86 (2004 general obligation bond amendment), Senate Bill 88 (creation/recodification of local districts), Senate Bill 90 (county officers serving on mental health boards), Senate Bill 97 (library consolidation), Senate Bill 40 (title insurance regulation restructuring), and Senate Bill 87 (resident lien recovery fund amendments). Vote tallies were recorded on the floor and, where given, were unanimous or near-unanimous for committee-recommended measures. Each passed bill will be transmitted to the House for its further action.
Under the second-reading calendar the Senate approved three joint rules resolutions designed to update internal procedures and display of amendments: House Joint Resolution 8 (use of legislative seals), HJR 9 (conflicts-of-interest rules placement), and HJR 10 (formatting of amendment display). Each resolution was passed under suspension of rules so the changes could be incorporated into the rules book ahead of publication.
The Senate also advanced House Joint Resolution 6 (approving compensation for in-session employees) under suspension of rules and passed it for immediate enrollment.
Next steps: bills passed by the Senate will be returned to the House for concurrence, signature where required, or further action depending on each measure’s status.
