Summary
On its 17th day, the Utah Senate approved multiple bills and a concurrent resolution, including HB 100 (interstate EMS licensure compact) and SB 72 (SITLA/trust-lands reforms), with most measures passing by unanimous or near-unanimous votes. The session included committee reports, brief floor debate on select bills and ceremonial recognitions.
The Utah Senate convened for its 17th day and moved a batch of legislation through final actions and referrals, largely by unanimous or near-unanimous margins.
