Votes and actions: committee reports, SJR6 and bills advanced on day 3
Summary
The Senate adopted committee and rules reports, approved a substitute to Senate Joint Resolution 6 under suspension, placed numerous house bills on the second-reading calendar, and ordered substituted Senate Bill 96 for third reading after a 22-7 recorded vote.
The Utah State Senate’s day three floor session recorded several procedural approvals and floor actions.
Committee and rules reports: The Senate adopted a batch of committee reports and the Rules Committee report. Following motions by committee chairs, multiple bills were placed on the second-reading calendar and assigned to standing committees as recommended (Business & Labor, Education, Health & Human Services, Natural Resources, Judiciary, Retirement & Independent Entities, Revenue & Taxation).
SJR6: The Senate uncircled and substituted Senate Joint Resolution 6 (which clarifies limits on future effective dates and contingent effective dates, and ties certain timing to Constitutional Amendment C) and passed the first substitute under suspension of the rules after a sponsor explanation and a roll-call vote.
Other floor actions: The third-reading calendar included Senate Bill 39 (assisted outpatient treatment for mental illness). Introduction of new measures included Senate Bill 107 (municipal nuisance ordinances) and Senate Bill 108 (government records modifications) for first reading; those measures were assigned to Rules. The Senate also handled provisions tied to Senate Bill 11 (Medicaid dental coverage amendments) and moved several bills toward third reading where noted.
Adjournment: The body set scheduling for a rules meeting and announced logistics for the League of Cities luncheon, then adjourned until 11 a.m. the following day.
