     to Utah Code by Representative Snider. Representative Snider. Thank

  2. Rep. Casey Snider36:45

     You Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this is the annual technical cleanup bill that we run. This has no substantive changes. This bill has been compiled by LRGC and fixes problems with outdated language, inaccurate cross references, um, those types of issues. It comes, many of you are aware of this, but just as a reminder, HR three dash two dash 4 0 1 brings this bill to the floor directly. It does not go to a committee bill because it is strictly A-L-R-G-C cleanup bill, where we tighten up some of the problems with our statute that drafters have found through the years. So, um, with that, Mr. Speaker, I would yield to any questions?

  3. Speaker (presiding)37:28

     Yes, Yes. Representative Boxier.

  6. Rep. Boxier37:39

     Thank you. Um, I was just wondering why we're changing the incorporation numbers from 100 people down to 75 people.

  7. Rep. Casey Snider37:49

     All I can speak to is that these are technical changes provided by LRGC, that there was some inconsistency in other portions of the statute that have now been made consistent with the changes herein.

  8. Rep. Boxier38:02

     Okay. Thank you. I I know that this has been a problem in my area when people are looking to incorporate, and so making it easier is, is maybe not something that I'll support, but I appreciate the answer.

  9. Speaker (presiding)38:16

  2. Sen. J. Stuart Adams (presiding)31:08

     Thank you. And I, uh, as everybody's aware that Kate that came from the house and I read it right to the second reading calendar, what we'll do is pass this on a third. We won't pass it all the way across. I want people to look at it, uh, overnight. So if we pass the bill, we'll move it on to third. Uh, so looking for discussion on the bill. Seeing none.

  7. Sen. Brady Brammer33:03

     What this does is it requires the reporting for the tourism tax, also known as TRT. The counties that are, uh, seeking TRT money, they just need to file their reports for the year before, before they can get new money. This allows the auditor to, uh, hold that over their heads until they comply with the appropriate reports. Okay. And so that is the substance of the bill. Thank you. Discussion.

  8. Sen. J. Stuart Adams (presiding)33:27

     Senator Vickers, uh, say no discussion. Going to you for a motion.
