What This Bill Does
This joint rules resolution modifies provisions related to resolutions.
Key Provisions
This resolution:
- defines terms;
- requires a legislator to obtain a citation, rather than a resolution, for certain purposes;
- prohibits a rules committee from referring a resolution that violates certain rules; and
- makes technical and conforming changes.
Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Under current legislative rules, lawmakers can introduce resolutions to formally recognize, honor, or memorialize individuals, groups, or events on the floor of the Legislature. This resolution changes Utah's internal legislative rules to ban that practice, instead requiring any legislator who wants to recognize, honor, or memorialize someone to obtain a formal "citation" — a separate, less formal acknowledgment — through existing Senate or House citation procedures. It also prohibits the Senate and House Rules Committees from advancing any resolution that violates this new rule to a committee or a floor vote.
