House advances wide set of bills on Senate third-reading calendar and adopts several committee reports
The Utah House on Feb. 20 handled a wide series of procedural and substantive matters: it heard communications from the Senate, adopted multiple committee reports, circled several Senate bills for further action and passed a slate of bills on the Senate third-reading calendar.

Major floor actions included adoption of the conference committee report on third substitute SB 107 (Election Process Amendments), which then passed the House on final passage with 67 yes votes, 0 no.

The House circled second substitute SB 135 (air mobility) and SB 91 (local government officers’ compensation) for further consideration. Several committee reports (Law Enforcement & Criminal Justice, Natural Resources, Public Utilities, Transportation) were adopted and their bills assigned to calendars.
