HB0011 Referendum Amendments - Passed Interim Committee. Passed House Gov. Ops and was voted down twice on the 3rd reading calendar. Likely dead for the session. Bill was substituted, failed on the floor and then brought back and substituted before failing to pass again.
Sponsor: Sen. Luz Escamilla
HB0121 Building Code Amendments. A competing bill is moving HB0316. HB0121 was transferred to Rep. Edwards to gain another ally for a second path. HB 121 was offered as a substitute for HB 316.

Quick explanation of bills on the move
HB0011 Referendum Amendments
allows those running a referendum to wait and see if the Governor is going to sign or veto the bill.
HB0069 Qualified Political Party Amendments
clarifies the requirements of alternate delegates for political parties to avoid twice the number of delegates coming to the convention or a candidate not knowing which delegates are going to convention.
HB0152 Voted and Board Local Levy Modifications
allows the State School Board to pay out to the districts the remaining $25 Million of the $75 Million collected from property taxes to help equalize school funding. $25 Million is an expensive table decoration. The money should either go where it was promised or go back to the taxpayers. (Disclaimer, I voted against the $75 Million property tax increase)
HB0080 Vehicle Impound Amendments
puts the "may" vs "shall" back into impounding cars that do not show up in the insurance data base.
HB0065 Exemption from Daylight Saving Time
opts out of Daylight Savings Time. In 2017, Utah would stay on Mountain Standard Time, (like Arizona)
HB0101 Disabled Adult Guardianship Amendments
allows a judge to review and decide a guardianship case without a parent or parents hiring an attorney for their disabled adult, in some instances.
