Marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, this resolution formally recognizes the contributions of Irish and Irish-American individuals to the founding of the United States, highlighting eight signers of the Declaration of Independence of Irish descent, military leaders like General John Sullivan, and figures such as John Dunlap — the Irish immigrant who printed the first copies of the Declaration. Beyond historical recognition, the resolution encourages Utah's Legislature and executive branch to form a joint committee with Irish counterparts to expand trade and commerce, and calls on Ireland to appoint an Honorary Consul General in Utah.
