AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
This resolution proposes changes to the Utah Constitution that would allow the Legislature to hold its annual general session on nonconsecutive days spread across the calendar year, rather than meeting in a single continuous block, while still capping the total session at 45 days and requiring both the House and Senate to meet on the same days. It also removes a constitutional rule that previously prevented one legislative chamber from adjourning for more than three days without the other chamber's consent — a restriction that would no longer be needed if sessions can already be spread out. If approved by Utah voters at the next general election, the changes would take effect January 1, 2028.
