Senate advances a range of measures; several bills sent to the House
Summary
On March 10 the Senate passed multiple bills and resolutions under suspension of the rules, including SB9 (bond authorization amendments), SB81 (first substitute), SB63, SB79, SJR19 and others; several measures were sent to the House for concurrence or further action.
The Senate advanced a cluster of bills and resolutions during the floor session.
Notable floor actions recorded during the evening:
- First substitute Senate Bill 81 (financial trust/interest language) passed and was reported to the House with an announced tally of "24 of your votes, 1 nay vote, 4 being absent."
- Senate Bill 79 (Uniform Real Estate Electronic Recording Act), as amended to add an industry representative to the recording-commission panel, passed under suspension with a reported tally of "27 yea votes, 2 nay votes, 2 being absent."
- Joint Resolution SJR19 (supporting Ukrainian sovereignty) passed and was reported to the House with "27 yay votes, 0 nay votes, 2 being absent."
- Senate Bill 9, a repeal of unused general-obligation bond authorization related to St. George Airport (about $42.5 million), was lifted for immediate consideration, passed under suspension of committee and 3-reading rules, and was sent to the House.
- Other bills moved under suspension of the rules or were substituted and sent to the House for consideration, including technical and budget-related measures and several first substitutes noted during roll calls (e.g., SB63, SB64, SB71, SB271). Where the transcript recorded explicit tallies for a bill, those tallies are noted; where roll-call text was not fully legible in the record, the report indicates the bill was passed and sent to the House.
