Next, Fourth Substitute Senate Bill 123 was introduced by Senator Harper.

The bill garnered significant support, passing with 29 votes in favor and no opposition.
The session concluded with a brief mention of additional bills scheduled for discussion, indicating a busy agenda ahead. Overall, the meeting highlighted a focus on supporting agriculture, streamlining government operations, and encouraging youth entrepreneurship in Utah.
