On Jan. 23 the House adopted several committee reports, placed base budget bills (HB 1, HB 5, HB 6, HB 7) at the top of the third-reading calendar and approved rules-committee assignments and other procedural motions.
During floor session on Jan. 23 the Utah House adopted a slate of committee reports from law enforcement, judiciary, natural resources and transportation committees and managed calendar business ahead of upcoming debate.
Representative Ryan Wilcox and other committee chairs presented favorable committee reports which the House adopted by voice votes.

The chamber concluded by adjourning until Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 11 a.m.
