On day 38 the Utah State Senate approved a large consent calendar and recorded passage of multiple House bills (including HB250, HB258, HB318, HB360, HB45, HB186, HB305, HB112). Several measures passed by unanimous or near‑unanimous margins and were returned to the House for signature or further consideration.
The Utah State Senate adopted a broad consent calendar and recorded passage of multiple bills during day 38. Clerk proceedings show the Senate approved measures carried from the House and several Senate bills, returning them to the House for signature or further consideration.
Among the bills approved and the recorded outcomes: House Bill 250 (clarifies standing to challenge certain impact‑fee expenditures) received 26 "yay" votes with 3 absences and will be returned to the House; Second Substitute House Bill 258 (Women’s Cancer Screening Notification Amendment) passed by unanimous request and recorded 24 votes with 5 absent; House Bill 318 (Stray Current/Voltage Remediation Act) passed with recorded roll call counts (reported as 23 yay, 0 nay, 6 absent); House Bill 360 (State Board of Education finance amendment) passed with 24 yay votes and 5 absent; third substitute House Bill 45 (consumer reporting agency fees) passed with 26 yea votes; First Substitute House Bill 186 (allowing certain LLCs to form as benefit entities) passed; House Bill 305 (fire code amendments) later recorded as passed (24 yay, 0 nay, 5 absent); and First Substitute House Bill 112 (payments for state care of children) recorded 26 yea votes.
Senators noted victims and survivors in the gallery during floor presentation of several bills. Senator Bramble described House Concurrent Resolution 2 — which the Senate uncircled and passed — as an urging resolution that would "urge Congress to pass a constitutional amendment" allowing a state executive temporarily to appoint a person to a vacant U.S. House seat until an election fills it.
The consent calendar included committee recommendations heard earlier in the session. Floor procedures also included a routine request to count a missed vote as an "aye" (a motion that passed and did not change outcomes), and several bills were circled or substituted for later review and technical fixes during floor consideration.
The Senate’s formal recorded votes and clerk announcements will be transmitted to the House and the enrolled‑bills office as indicated by the presiding officer.
— Recorded votes and clerk tallies are taken from the floor reading and roll calls as announced during session.
