Call for timeout on immigration bills shot down

Latino groups attempted Thursday to call a two-year timeout on debating bills that deal with illegal immigration, but a Senate committee instead signaled for lawmakers to play on.

The Senate Government Operations and Political Subdivisions Committee voted 2-1 to kill SJR18 by Senate Minority Leader Ross Romero, D-Salt Lake City, which he said he pushed on behalf of the Latino community.
