What this bill does
AI summary from the official description
This bill would let a county legislative body create a voting precinct made of two or more separate, non-touching areas in certain cases, and require each precinct name to be different from every other precinct's name. It would also let a county clerk adjust precinct boundaries to match current or newly changed local political subdivision boundaries, with the clerk filing notice with the Utah Geospatial Resource Center at least 65 days before an election and giving a copy to the county legislative body.
