House moves to reconsider and 'circle' HB34 (tanning for minors) for further review
Summary
Representative Perry moved to reconsider House Bill 34 (tanning for minors) and the House voted to circle the bill—placing it for later consideration on the third-reading calendar so members can obtain additional information and consultation.
On Jan. 28 the House voted to reconsider its earlier action on House Bill 34 (a bill addressing tanning for minors) and then placed the bill in 'circle' — a procedural step that removes it from immediate third-reading consideration to allow time for more discussion and information gathering.
Representative Perry, having voted on the prevailing side previously, moved to reconsider the bill and yield remaining time to a Utah County representative to present additional context. Representative Dott said the issue was complex and apologized for a rough presentation earlier in the process, urging colleagues to allow a few days for more information and consultation. The body agreed and the bill was circled; the clerk noted that when it returns to third reading it will be first on the board.
Why it matters: circling a bill allows more time for analysis and stakeholder input before a final recorded floor vote.
