What this bill does
The bill sets out a principle that powers not specifically given to the federal government in the U.S. Constitution are presumed to stay with Utah, and that the federal government must show specific constitutional authority to overcome that presumption. It also puts the burden of proof on the federal government in disputes between the state and federal government and directs the Federalism Commission to help coordinate resolving those conflicts.
