Where are audio links to bills previously discussed in meetings and on the floor?
Links to archived audio can appear anytime. The House and Senate staff publish links as soon as they finish preparing them. Links to specific discussion items appear as soon as staff can add them. Archived audio is available on committee pages from July 1, 2005 - current. Archived floor debates can be accessed from our home page under "Quick Links" and "Legislative Histories." Digitized formats of floor debates will eventually be available from 1990 - current. Senate floor debates are available from the Senate back to 1965. House floor debates 1957 - 1990 can be listened to at the Utah History Research Center.

Can I download the audio?
You may subscribe to a podcast available on all committee pages on our Web site, 2008-ongoing. For prior years, please contact the House or Senate offices for copies of the audio of standing committee meetings.

Why do I get an error message when I click on an audio/video link?
A program that can play real audio files may not be installed and configured properly on your computer. Streaming audio/video, .smil files and .rm files need to be associated with a player that can play these files. In RealPlayer you can set these from the Tools menu - preferences-content-media types. This program also must work properly with the browser you use. Some companies block streaming audio/video at their firewalls, and you need to work with their IT staff or your ISP provider to resolve the issue. We do not provide technical support.

Where can I find a player that will allow me to listen to the audio/video provided by your website?
A free player can be downloaded from real.com. Other players are available at player.helixcommunity.org.
