House Bill 112, which would expand Utah's animal cruelty laws to criminalize all kinds of animal fighting, died earlier this week on a 36-37 vote but was resurrected on Friday and passed on a 55-18 vote.
SALT LAKE CITY — Proof that a bill is never truly dead on Utah's Capitol Hill: House Bill 112, sponsored by Rep. Marsha Judkins, R-Provo, died earlier this week on a 36-37 vote.
The bill, which expands Utah's animal cruelty laws to criminalize all kinds of animal fighting was resurrected on Friday and passed on a 55-18 vote.How can a bill be resurrected like that? Under procedures in the House, a lawmaker who manages to successfully persuade a large part of the House to reconsider their actions can bring it back to the floor for yet another vote. In this case, Rep. Judkins apparently persuaded a very large number of people to support her bill.
