This resolution formally urges the United States federal government not to resume explosive nuclear weapons testing, pointing to the bipartisan moratorium in place since the early 1990s and citing concerns about global escalation, health impacts on Utahns downwind of past testing in Nevada, and statements from federal officials that resuming testing is unnecessary. If passed, it would direct copies of the resolution to the President, congressional leadership, and Utah's congressional delegation, and would encourage that delegation to communicate the Legislature's opposition to testing and to consider supporting two pending federal bills, the RESTRAIN Act and the No Nuclear Testing Act, that would prohibit explosive nuclear weapons testing. The resolution does not create, change, or repeal any Utah law; it expresses the Legislature's position and requests action from federal officials.
