  Said he had spoken against the bill a few weeks earlier, commended the sponsor for her work on the issue, and said he supports the bill as it has come back.

  Read what they said

  Thank you Mr. Speaker. I, uh, Mr. Speaker, I think I gave one of my finest speeches ever heard on this floor in opposition to this bill just a few weeks ago. And despite my valiant efforts, this bill squeaked through. Um, but I would like to commend the sponsor for her hard work in the last several weeks on a very tough issue that this body has grappled with for a very long time. And she has done yeoman's work on this and I am proud to support the bill as it has come back. So thank you Mr. Speaker.

• H.J.R. 30 House Joint Resolution to Approve the Transfer of Land · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

  Presents HJR 30, which approves transferring state land parcels in a long-disputed area near the Great Salt Lake to the US Fish and Wildlife Service as part of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, in exchange for money and public hunting and fishing access, with the state keeping mineral rights; the resolution is required because the transfer exceeds 500 acres.

  Thank you Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker at, at statehood this every state in the nation is granted certain lands and those lands are considered navigable if they reside under a body of water that has sufficient water on top of it to allow for commerce. We have had those parcels since we became a state. Um, but in the 1920s, a wildlife refuge was established by the US Fish and Wildlife Service that occupied parcels that were in dispute between what had historically been the high of the Great Salt Lake and the new boundary established by the US Fish and Wildlife Service conflict about what exactly and where exactly that line has existed since that time really coming to …

• S.J.R. 8 Joint Resolution to Initiate a Law School at Utah Valley University · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

  Objects to Cache Valley being left out of the Wasatch Front and asks colleagues to be clear about the term.

  Read what they said

  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also rise slightly offended by the good representative from Utah County. Cash Valley is not the Wasatch Front. And if this, it is the opinion of this body that we are just one of the rest of you because we are north of here and almost to Idaho, I take significant offense. So I think when the pride and honor of our beautiful valley is slighted by the comments of my colleague from Utah County, Southern Wasatch Front, uh, it is critical that we rise and defend the honor that is rightfully ours. And so I would encourage my colleague and any others to be clear. Cash Valley is not the Wasatch Front. Thank you, …

• S.B. 251 Local Health Department and Department of Environmental Quality Coordination · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

  Asks why the bill moves some DEQ reporting requirements, noting that the legislature has recently pushed for reports to committees including the Federalism committee, and asks whether this is a departure from that direction.

  Read what they said

  Thank you Mr. Speaker. I'm, I'm wondering, uh, if the, the good sponsor could address why we are moving some of the reporting requirements from DEQ. Um, we've in the last couple of years have pushed fairly hard to have them report to a variety of committees, including the Federalism committee as they create and establish new rules. And this seems to be a somewhat of a deviation, uh, from the direction of the legislature. Just wondering if the sponsor can speak to that.

• S.B. 201 Shelter Animal Euthanasia Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

  Opposes the bill, citing financial costs to counties and favoring local control over shelter rules.

  Read what they said

  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also rise in opposition to this bill, and I'd like to give the county some context. We, we are making it harder for an, for our counties to resolve some really hard problems, but it's, it does, there's a financial hardship that the counties will bear as a result of this bill. So in my county, just so that you are aware, on an annual basis, it may cost up to $7,000 per year per dog. For cats, it is three to 5,000 years dollars per year. Now we need to have all options on the table, and I think all of us agree with the sentiment that animals should be able to find homes …

• S.B. 242 Transportation Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

  Moves to adopt the fourth substitute and says the bill contains provisions on road spending that deserve a more open and transparent review, while the substitute clarifies towing language.

  Read what they said

  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Uh, I'd like to move substitute four to SB 2 42 in my name. That motion is in order. Would you like to speak to it? I would. Um, Mr. Speaker, sometimes bills of this magnitude have embedded within them little Easter eggs of that may deserve additional attention. I, uh, this body has seen those in the past, and we are seeing them, unfortunately here again, I think when we're talking about the people's money as it relates to, specifically to the provisions of roads, that a process that is fair, open, transparent, and certainly not last minute in a bill of this size, deserves their attention. Now, this substitute does add some clarifying pieces …

• S.B. 287 Targeted Advertising Tax · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

  Speaks in support, distributing a handout on past advertisements and arguing that the bill makes social media companies pay for harms to children, comparing them to past industries.

  Thank you, Madam Speaker ProAm. Madam Speaker ProAm on the desks of this floor is a handout that, that I have distributed, which outlines a series of advertisements that have been proffered among the public many of these decades and decades ago.
