Senate passes multiple consent, concurrence and third‑reading bills during morning session
Summary
The Utah Senate cleared numerous consent and concurrence items and advanced several third‑reading bills, including HB272 (insurance amendments), HB289 (UEN amendments), SB153 (Uniform Environmental Covenants), SB61 (first substitute), SB67 (conservation easements), HB119 (Board of Regents amendments), SB179 (tax exemption amendments), SB198 (intangible property) and others; roll‑call tallies were read on the floor.
The Senate moved through a long slate of routine and substantive items on its consent, concurrence and third‑reading calendars during the morning session.
Consent and concurrence items: The clerk reported House communications and multiple house bills transmitted for Senate action. On the consent calendar the Senate approved items including House Bill 272 (insurance law amendments), House Bill 289 (Utah Education Network corrections), and other technical or housekeeping measures; the president signed or directed enrollment and referred bills back to the House as appropriate. The body also concurred with House amendments on several bills, including Senate Bill 153 (Uniform Environmental Covenants Act) and Senate Bill 182 (direct sales amendment), with recorded roll calls announced on the floor.
Third reading and other passage: The Senate advanced items on its third reading calendar, including House Bill 119 (Board of Regents amendments) and Senate Bill 198 (clarifying intangible property for property‑tax purposes). Several substitute bills (first substitute Senate Bill 61 and third substitute House Bill 46 as amended) were also passed and referred to the House for further action. The floor also handled procedural calendar corrections (reassigning House Bills 278 and 263 to correct calendars), recall of a bill (Senate Bill 36) for technical amendment, and a large rules committee report placing a list of bills on the second reading calendar.
Recorded tallies: The transcript records multiple roll‑call tallies as announced by the president or clerk. Examples include unanimous or near‑unanimous concurrence votes and recorded final passage counts for bills referenced above (e.g., HB272 recorded as 24 yes, 0 nay, 5 absent; HB289 recorded with 23 yes, 0 nay, 6 absent; other tallies follow in transcript).
