AI-generated summary, reviewed by Better Utah staff.
This resolution proposes amending the Utah Constitution to replace the current single annual legislative session with three sessions per year: one budget session starting in February (limited to budget, appropriations, and — with a two-thirds vote — policy bills), plus two general sessions starting in May and September respectively. Each of these sessions would be capped at 15 working days, down from the current 45-day limit, and the Governor's State of the State address would shift to the budget session. If approved by the legislature, Utah voters would decide whether to adopt this change at the next general election, with the new structure taking effect January 1, 2028.
