Senate introduces SB5001 and SB5002, moves both to second reading under suspension
Summary
During the Dec. 1, 2006 special session the Utah Senate introduced SB5001 (four‑member congressional redistricting plan) and SB5002 (mechanics lien/payment amendments) and voted to place both bills on the second‑reading calendar under suspension of rules before recessing for caucuses.
The Utah Senate formally introduced two bills tied to the special session’s proclamation and moved both to the second‑reading calendar under suspension of the rules.
Madam secretary announced Senate Bill 5001, a four‑member congressional redistricting plan sponsored by Senator Bramble, and Senate Bill 5002, "mechanics lien and payment amendments," sponsored by Senator Jenkins. Following introductions, Senator Knudson moved that both SB5001 and SB5002 be placed on the second reading calendar under suspension of the rules. The motion requires a two‑thirds majority; the President called for the vote and declared the motion passed by the required margin.
Earlier in the session senators also moved to adopt the same procedural rules used during the general session to govern the special session. After those procedural steps, Senator Knudson moved the Senate into recess to allow caucuses to meet and prepare for consideration of the bills.
No substantive debate on either bill occurred on the floor record provided; the Senate recessed for caucus consideration of the introduced measures.
Next procedural steps recorded in the session were placement of the bills on the calendar for second reading and informal caucus work. Final floor action on the bills was not recorded in the provided transcript.
