Senate amends and passes S.B. 5001 to balance budget and adjust relief appropriations
Summary
Senate recalled S.B. 5001, adopted an amendment to remove duplicated funding lines, and passed the bill to balance the budget and adjust COVID relief appropriations; senators noted fiscal notes are attached and the bill will go back to the House.
The Utah Senate took S.B. 5001 (budget balancing and coronavirus relief appropriations adjustments) from 'circle,' adopted an amendment to strike duplicate funding lines and then passed the bill to carry a balanced budget through June 30.
Senator Arthur moved the amendment to delete specific lines after staff identified double funding. The amendment was agreed to, and sponsor Senator Stevens said the bill ensures a balanced budget through the end of the fiscal period.
Following roll call, the Senate recorded S.B. 5001 as having received 29 yea votes (transcript: "having received 29 ... passes") and will send the bill to the House for further consideration.
