428,Legislature. Senate,Working bills,i 1896-,Chronological by legislative session; thereunder alphanumeric by bill type and number.,"This series documents the legislative process in the Senate. The series contains the working copies of Senate bills\, claims (through 1925)\, petitions (until 1927)\, memorials\, fiscal reports of state agencies (1897 only)\, and resolutions. The working copy includes the bill as introduced\, any amendments made to it\, and by the latter half of the 20th century\, a copy of the final text for passed bills. The bill's progress through committees and votes is logged on the backing. The final\, signed version of the bill is filed in the Lieutenant Governor's office (cf series 4076); However a few appear here in those cases where the bill was vetoed by the Governor\, returned to the Legislature while still in session\, and the Legislature failed to override the veto. Bill\, in the broad sense\, refers to bills\, resolutions\, memorials\, etc. In the narrow sense they are those documents a member of the Legislature desires to have made into a Utah law. Claims to the state were for money due an individual,or group. Memorials are pleadings for federal action\, usually to the U._S._Congress. Resolutions are position statements which do not have the weight of law. Petitions were initiated by citizens desiring the introduction of particular legislation.",Permanent.
