Senate approves multiple House bills on third reading; sends them back for signatures
Summary
On the third‑reading calendar the Utah Senate uncircled and passed several House bills including HB 13 (alcoholic beverage event permit), HB 49 (state liability protection for school employees), HB 45 (STEM program amendments), HB 30 and HB 32 (property tax/subdivision matters); votes were recorded and bills were transmitted back to the House for signatures where indicated.
The Utah Senate acted on its third‑reading calendar and advanced multiple House bills.
House Bill 13, which adjusts alcoholic beverage event permitting, was uncircled and passed after floor remarks from Senator Stevenson highlighting the importance of event permits for tourism (example cited: Oktoberfest at Snowbird). The clerk recorded 24 yeas, 0 nays and 5 absent; the President signed and the bill was sent to the House for the Speaker’s signature.
Senator Stevenson also moved to uncircle and pass House Bill 49, which requires annual notice to school employees about state liability protections under state risk management. The bill passed on roll call and was recorded for transmittal.
House Bill 45, described as simple statutory alignment to allow Utah State University Eastern to partner in STEM certificate programs, was uncircled, moved and passed.
House Bill 30 (property subdivision/tax technical fixes) and HB 32 (clarifications regarding property tax attachment when subdividing property) were both presented, described as having originated from interim committee work and broad stakeholder negotiation, and were passed by roll call.
Where roll calls and tallies are explicitly recorded in the transcript, they are noted; procedural actions were completed and the Senate adjourned to allow committee work.
