What the bill would do

These points come from the Utah Legislature’s published bill overview.

  • provides that a legislator may introduce and vote on legislation according to the legislator's own judgment and conscience;
  • reorganizes and amends the legislative general counsel's responsibility to correct technical errors in legislation and the Utah Code by: directing the legislative general counsel to correct erroneous statutory history in the long title of legislation and the names of officers and funds; removing the requirement that the legislative general counsel modify the highlighted provisions of legislation to correct an inconsistency between the highlighted provisions and the legislation's enacted provisions; and prohibiting the legislative general counsel from making a correction that would alter the meaning or effect of law; and
  • makes technical and conforming changes.
