Senate votes to reconsider Second Substitute House Bill 25 over technical corrections

The Utah Senate on Day 18 approved a motion to reconsider its action on Second Substitute House Bill 25, the Utah Rural Jobs Act Amendments, after a senator raised the need for technical corrections.

Senator Bramble moved the reconsideration, saying, “I would move that we reconsider our action on first substitute house bill 25. There's a, some technical corrections that we need to make on the bill.” The motion to reconsider was placed and passed by voice vote. The presiding officer said the bill had been reconsidered and would be brought back to the Senate when ready.

The reconsideration does not change the substantive policy on the floor today; senators described the change as technical and procedural. After the motion passed, senators noted they would hold the item in circulation until it could return in corrected form.

The next procedural step—when the corrected bill is returned to the Senate for further action—was not specified during the floor remarks. The Senate then continued with other concurrence and third-reading items on the calendar and recessed until 2:00 p.m.
