Senate advances multiple bills on third-reading calendar; several pass unanimously
Summary
Floor session moved a slate of bills through committee reports and third-reading actions: SB 19, SB 20, SB 30, SB 33, SB 93, SB 105, and others were read, circled or passed; many were undebated or had brief floor presentations.
The Utah Senate on this floor day advanced a cluster of bills across committees and the third-reading calendar. Highlights from recorded floor action:
- SB 19 (voter information pamphlets): Passed third reading, 23 yeas, 1 nay, 5 absent; forwarded to the House. - SB 20 (petition forms for unaffiliated candidates and party registration): Passed, 25 yeas, 0 nays, 4 absent; forwarded to the House. - SB 30 (administrative rules reauthorization): Initially circled pending exact rule language, later uncircled and passed (26 yeas, 2 nays); bill will go to the House. - SB 33 (trespassing on state lands): Passed third reading, 22 yeas, 2 nays, 5 absent; placed at bottom of third-reading calendar. - SB 93 (school construction retention): Passed 24 yeas, 0 nays; placed on third-reading calendar. - SB 105 (commemorative days for families of fallen officers): Passed 26 yeas, 0 nays.
Several committee reports were adopted by voice vote earlier in the day and multiple new bills were introduced and sent to Rules. Senators also used procedural mechanisms (suspensions, circling) on time-sensitive bills to accommodate amendment work and ensure timely action before ballot-print deadlines or committee hearings.
The session ended with procedural announcements and the Senate adjourned until 10 a.m. the next day.
