Source: Utah S.B. 127 (2021) Legislative Status Record

Summary

The Legislature's machine-readable status record for S.B. 127 (2021 General Session) — the JSON document that the bill's own page on le.utah.gov renders as its status tab. It exists here for one reason the enrolled bill cannot supply: the date the governor signed it, and the path it took to get there.

Useful Claims

• The bill became law on 2021-03-22. The record's last action is "Governor Signed", owned by the Lieutenant Governor's office for filing, timestamped 2021-03-22T16:54:11.000Z, and the action history's final row is dated 2021-03-22.
• The version that passed was a substitute, SB0127S01, not the bill as introduced. The record shows a Senate committee substitute and amendment recommendation on 2021-02-08.
• It moved through the 2021 session in five weeks: numbered 2021-01-25, Senate third reading passed 2021-02-16, House third reading passed 2021-03-02, signed 2021-03-22.
• Two House floor amendments failed on 2021-03-02 before the bill passed third reading.
• The bill was returned to House Rules "due to fiscal impact" on 2021-02-24 despite appropriating nothing itself, and a fiscal note was published during the Senate stage.
• The Legislature's own subject tags for it are Juveniles, Substance Abuse, Mental Health, Judicial Operations, Human Services, Department of Human Services, Human Services Licensure, Office of Licensing, and Substance Use Disorder Treatment — and the code sections it touches are 62A-2-101, 62A-2-106, 62A-2-118, 62A-2-120, 62A-2-123, and 62A-2-124.

Reliability Notes

Primary tier: the Legislature's own record of its own proceedings, at a mandated host, so no archive snapshot is owed. The capture is the JSON as served; quotes above are fragments of it, with double quotes folded to single quotes as markdown nesting requires.

This endpoint is undocumented. It was found by reading the bill page's client-side script (/js/rexBill.js), which builds the URL as /data/<sessionID>/<billNumber>.json. It is the source the Legislature's own page displays, which is the argument for trusting it; it carries no versioning or stability promise, which is the argument for having captured it.

The 2021 schema differs from later sessions. This record's action history gives dates, actions, and locations but no vote tallies, so the margins by which S.B. 127 passed are not knowable from it — where the 2025 record does carry a voteStr on every roll call. Contemporaneous reporting described the 2021 package as approved "with only a handful of opposing votes" (APM Reports); that remains a journalist's characterization, not a tally this wiki holds.
