2009 Utah Legislative Session Bill Tracker

2009 General Session of the Utah Legislature

Veto Session

Dust settles again in the House and Senate Chambers of the Utah Legislature until 2010, but now decisions are being taken in the governor's mansion. We hope Governor Huntsman (pictured at left) will be thinking about vetoing some of the session's turkey's. Please contact him to ask for a veto of the worst bills of the session: HB 169 S1, HB 278 & SB 68 S1. Read more about them and get contact information below.
