Plain-Language Summary

AI-generated summary, reviewed by Better Utah staff.

Passed jointly by the Utah Legislature and Governor, this resolution formally urges the United States federal government not to resume explosive nuclear weapons testing, citing the decades-long bipartisan moratorium that has been in place since the early 1990s. It directs a copy of the resolution to the President, congressional leaders, and Utah's congressional delegation, and encourages Utah's delegation to oppose resumed testing and consider supporting federal legislation that would prohibit it. This resolution is particularly significant for Utahns who live downwind of the Nevada test site, where above-ground nuclear tests spread radioactive fallout across the state for decades, causing lasting health and economic harm to affected communities.
