Senate advances a slate of interim-committee and policy bills; roll-call outcomes at a glance
Summary
The Utah Senate moved a long list of bills through final or third-reading action, recording roll-call tallies for each item; several passed unanimously or with broad support and will be transmitted to the House or proceed to third reading as noted.
The Senate considered and advanced many measures during the floor session, including committee bills, technical fixes, and program extensions. Most actions were decided by roll-call vote; the clerk announced tallies on the floor for each final passage or third-reading request.
Key roll-call outcomes recorded on the floor included:
- First substitute Senate Bill 100 (paid-leave modifications): sponsor Senator Weiler moved final passage and the bill passed. Fiscal note on the floor: "$1,750,000." (floor presentation)
- Senate Bill 90 (tax administration amendments): Senator Harper explained clarifying changes and the bill passed with 25 yay, 0 nay, 4 absent.
- First substitute Senate Bill 83 (Cosmetic Manufacturing Certificate Program): passed with 25 yay, 0 nay, 4 absent.
- Second substitute Senate Bill 111 (Permanent Community Impact Fund Board amendments): passed and will be sent to the House.
- House Bill 20 (first substitute, Utah Council on Victims of Crime): substitute was accepted and the bill passed with 25 yay, 0 nay, 4 absent.
- House Bill 27 (state monuments act amendments): passed with 26 yay, 0 nay, 3 absent.
- House Bill 17 (State Small Business Credit Initiative changes): passed with 25 yay, 0 nay, 4 absent.

- House Bill 48 (Utah Substance Use and Mental Health Advisory Council extension): moved to third reading and recorded as 26 yay, 0 nay, 3 absent.
- House Bill 49 (study on state hospital capacity — sunset amendments): passed with 21 yay, 0 nay, 8 absent.
- Additional committee bills and technical measures (HB14, HB16, HB30, HB37, HB42, HB43, HB44, HB50, HB24 and others) were also advanced on roll-call; most reported tallies show unanimous or near-unanimous support and were recorded with the clerk’s announcements.
What this means: many statewide advisory councils and program sunsets were extended or had their statutory language adjusted; several bills will now move to the House for consideration or proceed through third-reading steps.
Next steps: the clerk will transmit passed Senate measures to the House when appropriate and the Senate reconvenes at the scheduled time.
