AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
This resolution changes the internal rules of the Utah Legislature to cap how many bills each lawmaker can request to have drafted per session — senators may file no more than 10 requests and House representatives no more than six. Certain requests don't count toward these limits, including bills that come from authorized legislative committee chairs, bills that exclusively appropriate money, bills that exclusively repeal existing law, and technical revisor's corrections. Any request counts against a legislator's limit even if they later abandon it. The caps take effect in May 2026, applying to future legislative sessions.
