Utah Senate receives House communications on several bills, places items on calendar and adjourns
Summary
The Utah Senate received communications that the House had passed multiple bills and a joint rules resolution, said those items would be read and assigned to the Rules Committee or placed on the current calendar, and adjourned until 10 a.m. the following day after a motion by Senator Vickers.
The Utah State Senate on the floor received several communications from the House reporting passage of multiple bills and a joint rules resolution, placed several items on its calendar or referred them to committee, and adjourned until 10 a.m. the next legislative day.
The House notified the Senate that it had passed House Joint Resolution 17 (a joint rules resolution concerning procedural amendments) and transmitted it to the Senate. The House also transmitted substitute House Bill 146, described in the transcript as relating to an "Overdose Harm Reduction Working Group," reported by Representative Dailey-Provost (Provo). Additional House bills transmitted included substitute House Bill 375 (agriculture amendments) by Representative Handy, substitute House Bill 404 (Utah Immigration Assistance Center) by Representative Ferry, and House Bill 406 (marriage revisions) by Representative Ballard. The presiding officer stated that rules bills would be read for the first time and assigned to the Rules Committee for consideration.
The transcript records further communications that the House had substituted, amended, and passed second substitute Senate Bill 107 (referenced in the transcript with in-person instruction priorities and prioritization by Senator Wyler) and second substitute Senate Bill 11 (military retirement income tax amendments by Senator Harper); those items were transmitted back to the Senate for further consideration. Floor participants confirmed some transmitted items would be placed on the current calendar for later Senate action.
The session included a brief confirmation that the Rules Committee report had already been adopted; the transcript does not record additional details or a roll-call vote on that report in this excerpt. After a short period of procedural and staff coordination, Senator Vickers moved that the Senate adjourn until 10 a.m. the following morning, saying, "And with that, I would make a motion that the Senate adjourn until 10AM tomorrow morning." The presiding officer put the question and announced the motion passed with a recorded tally of "2 to 0." The presiding officer then declared the Senate adjourned.
No floor debate on the substantive merits of the transmitted measures is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt. The transcript shows only the formal transmission of items between chambers, committee referral or calendar placement for further action, and the adjournment vote. Further consideration, committee hearings, or Senate readings are not captured here and will determine next steps for the listed measures.
