Utah Senate passes first-substitute SB 4,002 under suspension, sends bill to House
Summary
Under suspension of the rules, the Utah Senate voted to pass first-substitute Senate Bill 4,002. The presiding officer announced the result as 21 yeas, 6 nays and 2 absent; the measure will be transmitted to the House for consideration.
Under suspension of the rules, a senator moved that first-substitute Senate Bill 4,002 pass, and the Senate held a roll-call vote.
The clerk read the roll, and the presiding officer announced that the measure had received 21 yeas, 6 nays and 2 absences. "First substitute Senate bill 4,002, having received 21 yay votes, 6 nay votes, 2 being absent, passes this body and will be sent to the house for their consideration," the presiding officer said.
The motion to pass the bill was made under suspension of the rules, a parliamentary procedure that shortens the normal consideration process. The mover of the motion identified the request for suspension and the motion to pass on the floor prior to the roll call.
There was no extended debate recorded in the transcript on the floor after the motion; the Senate proceeded to the recorded roll-call tally and transmission to the House. The Senate then moved on to consideration of the next bill while the House continued its proceedings.
The clerk's roll-call included multiple senators recorded as voting 'aye' or 'no'; the presiding officer confirmed receipt of votes from members participating remotely. The body recessed its active consideration of further business while the House remained in debate.
