This bill restructures how Utah's Legislature manages its own internal operations. It would consolidate workplace harassment and discrimination policy under the Legislative Management Committee (LMC) — the body of House and Senate leadership overseeing legislative administration — rather than separate House and Senate policies, and would change LMC's meeting frequency and quorum rules while giving it broader authority over branch-wide administrative matters, legal representation decisions, and technical corrections to the Utah Code. It would eliminate the requirement that the Legislature print and distribute the bound Utah Code Annotated, repeal the LMC's Subcommittee on Oversight and certain periodic reporting requirements, and update the definition of which legislative offices count as "procurement units" under state purchasing law. The bill would also formally make the Senate president and House speaker vice chairs of the State Capitol Preservation Board, direct that board to write rules for specified Capitol Hill activities while ensuring LMC policy prevails over any conflicting board rule in the legislative area, and require the board's executive director to consult with Senate and House leadership when someone appeals a denied request to use that space. Finally, it would establish that written bill summaries prepared by legislative staff cannot be used as legal evidence of what the Legislature intended a law to mean.
