How we placed them
Placed only by their own votes: we took the 222 contested House floor votes of the 2026 session (where at least 10% voted on the losing side) and found the main line that divides how members vote, the same idea political scientists use to score Congress. No bill is labeled liberal or conservative by us; the conservative end is simply the side where most Republicans fall. More on how this works

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to briefly speak in favor of this bill. I know that, uh, having worked in Arizona and New Mexico, Texas, uh, good Friday was a very important holiday there. We even celebrated Good Friday in Bangladesh. We certainly did in, in South America. So I think it's good that Utah catch up to maybe most of the rest of the world.

Rep. Jack says nuclear power is needed to balance reliable, affordable electricity with lower CO2 emissions, and that the resolution lets the governor petition the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission to bring primacy to a Utah regulatory commission so the state can move faster.
▶ Watch at 1:42:39Read what they said
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm very excited to talk about nuclear power. I've been reading some nuclear power textbooks at night. A friend of mine who teaches university in Georgia has mailed me a whole box of them, but I was asked to keep it short. So let me give you the cliff notes here real quick. Uh, We value our reliable and affordable electricity, and there's a growing concern about CO2 emissions. So how do we square those two? And currently, the only thing known to man that is, uh, viable and at scale is nuclear. And so across the country, we've been pursuing nuclear more and more. We have voted on and passed out a couple of bills. …

Says the Senate amendment adds clarification that the governor's existing statutory authority to declare a public nuisance applies, so the bill is consistent with the rest of code.
▶ Watch at 3:05:14Read what they said
Yes. Thank you. This is, this is an amendment that we made, uh, that I was there making with them. Uh, the only thing we really did is the governor has in statute the ability to declare a public nuisance. But what we did is we added that, uh, extra clarification into this bill so that, uh, there was no, so that there was no question about that. So, uh, that's what we accomplished here is we clarified this bill is consistent with the rest of code.
