Senate clears a group of technical, licensing and ceremonial bills and recesses
Summary
During the June 18 special session the Utah Senate passed several technical and noncontroversial measures — including changes to private investigator licensing, procurement code corrections, a statue unveiling date amendment and concurrent resolutions — and recessed for lunch.
In addition to contested public‑health and fiscal measures, the Utah Senate approved multiple technical and ceremonial items on Thursday.
The chamber passed SB 5008 to remove a Utah residency requirement for private investigators after legal counsel advised the residency requirement may be indefensible in pending litigation; other licensing prerequisites remain. Sen. Weiler said the change brings Utah in line with broader licensing reforms to reduce barriers where public safety is not compromised.
Senators adopted a technical correction to the procurement code (SB 5002), extended the Martha Hughes Cannon statue committee sunset and removed an August unveiling date (SB 5009), and placed a concurrent resolution honoring 2020 graduates on the time‑certain calendar for later recognition. Several House bills and resolutions were received and read for first time and placed on the second reading calendar for future action.
After completing morning business, the Senate recessed until 1 p.m. for caucus and lunch.
