AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
A House resolution on family policy would formally state the Legislature's views without changing any laws. It expresses the House's commitment to using terms like "mother," "father," and "parents" in future legislation, prioritizing two-parent households, and promoting the "Success Sequence" — an approach that encourages young people to finish high school, get full-time work, and marry before having children — as a way to teach students about building stable families. It also expresses support for continuing and potentially expanding Utah's early-childhood tax credit to help parents and grandparents cover costs like food and child care, while explicitly stating that grandparents raising grandchildren and single-parent families should not be stigmatized. Because this is a resolution rather than a bill, it carries no legal requirements or funding and does not alter existing Utah law.
