The formatting of section titles in the Utah Constitution has historically included brackets around each title, a practice dating back to 1967, even though these titles and brackets were never formally added through the constitutional amendment process and carry no legal weight. This resolution formally declares that these bracketed titles are decorative additions made for convenience only and do not affect the meaning of any constitutional section. It then directs the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel to stop using brackets around titles when drafting future constitutional amendments starting with the 2027 General Session, and to remove the brackets from the officially published version of the Utah Constitution the next time it is prepared for publication. The resolution also calls for copies to be sent to the Utah Attorney General, the Chief Justice of the Utah Supreme Court, and legal publishers WestLaw and LexisNexis, but makes no substantive change to the content or legal meaning of the Constitution itself.
