This resolution updates the internal operating rules of the Utah House of Representatives. It adds formal definitions for "minority leader" and "minority party," clarifies that the House also convenes on dates set by the speaker for special sessions, and eliminates the requirement that the House Rules Committee keep written minutes recording each representative's votes when it meets to route or prioritize legislation. It also changes committee procedure so that a bill's sponsor gets a chance to respond after committee debate on a motion (in addition to responding before debate), though for motions to favorably recommend a bill, the chair has discretion over whether to allow the sponsor to respond before debate begins.
