Utah Senate Adopts 2011 Rules for Extraordinary Session
Summary
Senator Dayton moved to adopt the Senate rules from the 2011 General Session for use during the third extraordinary session; the motion carried and the rules were adopted by the body before proceeding to confirmations.
At the outset of the third extraordinary session on Sept. 6, 2011, Senator Dayton moved that the Senate adopt the rules used in the 2011 General Session for this extraordinary session. The motion was called and the President put the question to the body. Senators expressed no objection and the President announced, "Motion carries. We have adopted the rules." The adoption allowed the Senate to proceed with the business specified in the governor's proclamation.
The rules adoption was procedural and required no roll-call tally in the transcript; it was treated as a unanimous voice decision and is recorded in the Senate minutes as the procedural framework applied to the day's session.
