Summary

On Feb. 4 the House advanced multiple third-reading items to the Senate, including measures on military commission membership, adoption oversight, school-zone speeding, initiative/removal parity, micro-education facilities, and firearm background checks; vote tallies are listed below.

The Utah House moved multiple bills on third reading to the Senate on Feb. 4. Key outcomes: HB132 (first substitute, military amendments) passed 67–0; HB51 (third substitute, adoption amendments) passed 66–1; HB178 (second substitute, school-zone speeding) passed 69–0; HB242 (initiative and referendum signature-gathering/removal parity) passed 68–0; HB126 (first substitute, micro education entity facility amendments) passed 67–0; HB101 (firearm background check amendments) passed 68–0; HB108 (minors in state custody amendments) passed 66–0. Several other bills were read for the first time and referred to Rules.

The House also handled procedural actions including circling or uncircling bills (for example HB136 and HB120) to allow further amendment work. Representative Cutler successfully moved to reconsider HB120 so sponsors could pursue an amendment, and Representative Chu later asked to circle that bill for further work.

Below are the recorded final roll-call tallies read on the floor (as reported during the Feb. 4 session):

- HB132 (first substitute) — 67 yes, 0 no. - HB392 (second substitute) — 56 yes, 15 no. - HB51 (third substitute) — 66 yes, 1 no. - HB178 (second substitute) — 69 yes, 0 no. - HB242 — 68 yes, 0 no. - HB126 (first substitute) — 67 yes, 0 no. - HB101 — 68 yes, 0 no. - HB108 — 66 yes, 0 no.

What happens next: Each bill transmitted to the Senate will proceed through that chamber’s committee and floor process; procedural statuses such as 'circled' indicate sponsors intend further amendment work before final passage.
