Senator Vickers moves to adjourn; Utah Senate approves motion and adjourns sine die
Summary
At the close of the sixth special session, Senator Vickers moved that the Senate adjourn sine die. The motion was approved by voice vote with no opposition recorded; the Governor and House were notified by email.
Senator Vickers moved that the Senate adjourn the sixth special session "sine die," after thanking members present in the chamber and those participating virtually.
Speaking near the end of the session, Senator Vickers said, "Appreciate everyone's work, both, here in the chamber and on online virtually. And with that, we'd make a motion that this Senate adjourn from the sixth special session, sine die." The Senate called for a voice vote: "All in favor, say aye." An "Aye" was recorded and no opposition was voiced; the presiding officer declared the motion passed and the Senate adjourned. The transcript records that Senator Milner was appointed to notify the House via email and that the Governor had been notified by email that the Senate had concluded its business.
Why it matters: adjourning sine die ends the legislative body's ability to take further action in that special session unless reconvened. The recorded action was procedural; the transcript shows a voice vote and does not include a roll-call tally or recorded dissent.
What the record does not include: the transcript does not show a roll-call vote or list of individual votes; it records only a voice vote with one audible "Aye" and a presiding declaration that the "motion passes."
