Summary
On Feb. 14 the Utah Senate advanced many House-transmitted bills across policy areas — from food safety and county classification to retirement and property disposal — and adopted time-sensitive resolutions recognizing voter-registration and outdoor-recreation initiatives. Several bills passed unanimously or with large margins; one public‑health bill was tabled for fiscal review.
The Utah Senate considered a packed House calendar on Feb. 14, advancing a wide range of House-originated measures with minimal floor debate on many items and fuller debate on a handful of bills.
Notable floor actions and outcomes recorded in the Senate transcript include:

- House Bill 81 (school counselor services): Passed (29 yeas, 0 nays, 0 absent) after sponsor Sen. Fillmore asked the State Board to revise counselor standards to prioritize counseling duties.
