The Utah State Senate used Friday floor time to advance a broad set of bills on the consent, concurrent and third‑reading calendars and to report a sizable revenue update ahead of budget deliberations.
On routine and consent business the Senate approved a string of bills that will be returned to the House for signatures, including:
- Senate Bill 108 (indigent defense amendments) — passed 24 yea, 0 nay, 5 absent.
- Senate Bill 121 (Anesthesiologist Assistant Licensing Act) — passed 21 yea, 4 nay, 4 absent.
- Second Substitute House Bill 225 (uniform medical-records release form) — passed on consent (23 yea, 0 nay, 6 absent).
- House Bill 241 (School Epilepsy Training Amendments) — passed (18 yea, 0 nay, 11 absent).
- House Bill 252 (employee verification changes) — passed (29 yea, 5 nay, 5 absent).
Senate leaders also reported updated revenue numbers that materially increased available one‑time and ongoing funds for this fiscal cycle; leadership said those figures will shape budget negotiations in the coming weeks.
Procedural notes: several bills were circled and uncircled for further amendment, and leadership sent a slate of bills to standing committees via the Rules Committee report. The Senate adjourned until Tuesday at 10 a.m.
