Votes at a glance: HB21, HB46 pass; House adopts rules report and suspends 24-hour rule
Summary
The House adopted a rules committee report and passed two committee bills: HB21 (intergenerational poverty plan extension) 67–3, and HB46 (arts and museums revisions) 70–0; members also suspended the 24-hour third-reading calendar requirement and adjourned until Jan. 29.
The Utah House adopted a rules committee report and advanced multiple bills on Jan. 28, including two committee measures that passed on the third-reading calendar.
House Bill 21, an extension of the intergenerational poverty plan implementation pilot, was presented by Representative Owens as a committee bill that extends the pilot’s sunset to 2023. With summation waived and no floor discussion recorded, the House approved HB21 by a vote of 67 yes and 3 no; the bill will be transmitted to the Senate.
House Bill 46, described by Representative Harrison as a statutory clean-up to let the Division of Arts and Museums operate as a unified unit (combining prior Utah Arts Council and Office of Museum Services language), passed unanimously on the floor with 70 yes votes and 0 no votes.
Other procedural actions: the House temporarily suspended the 24-hour third-reading calendar requirement so several items could be heard the same day. The chamber also adopted a House Rules Committee report lifting additional bills from rules to second reading and adjusting committee assignments.
Next steps: HB21 and HB46 will be transmitted to the Senate for consideration; committee assignments announced today will guide further review of other bills.
