Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary, reviewed by Better Utah staff.
Passed by the Utah Legislature and Governor together, this concurrent resolution formally calls on the President, Congress, and federal agencies to provide substantial financial and policy assistance to stabilize and restore the Great Salt Lake, which has lost more than half its water volume due to drought, population growth, and increased water demands. The resolution asks the federal government to negotiate a cost-sharing agreement with Utah that includes a 2034 milestone tied to the Olympic Games, while specifying that any federal help should supplement — not replace — state-led efforts and must respect Utah's water laws and local decision-making.
