• H.B. 170 School Board Referendum Amendments · Senate floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

  Argues the bill does not make referendums easier, applies the same two-thirds standard to school boards, and moves to pass the bill.

  Read what they said

  Going to use summation and a motion. Thank you, Mr. President. This doesn't make referenda easier. It just extends them to another branch of government that holds legislative power consistent with our constitution. Uh, this, uh, the same two thirds majority, uh, standard applies, which means this could only be used for a legislative action that on a five person school board passed three to two or on a seven person to school board, excuse me, a seven person school board passed four to three. Uh, any, any other outcome would be unre referable because it would pass by such a large majority. Uh, I think, you know, we've seen school boards active in, in participating against referenda, um, against, …

• H.B. 219 Higher Education Civics Amendments · Senate floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

  Presents H.B. 219, which sets an expectation that Utah general education writing courses include American founding documents, court opinions, and speeches as primary sources while leaving curriculum to faculty.

  Read what they said

  Thank you Mr. President. We've long understood here in the legislature that civic understanding is not as strong as it needs to be in our society. And that too many children reach adulthood without ever engaging directly with the documents that define our constitutional system. House Bill two 19 addresses this problem by ensuring that Utah's general education writing courses in higher education incorporate seminal American texts our founding documents, landmark Supreme Court opinions, significant speeches from presidents and other leaders. So this bill doesn't, uh, dictate curriculum, but it just, it preserves full faculty discretion while setting an expectation that students should practice close reading, critical analysis and evidence-based argument using primary sources. It's a measured, responsible step to …

• H.B. 113 Emergency Reporting Abuse Amendments · Senate floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

  Explains that the Senate earlier passed S.B. 99 on repeated non-emergency 911 calls, that Rep. Monson's bill addresses intentional 911 abuse, and that the two bills were combined to address both problems.

  Read what they said

  President, uh, several weeks ago, uh, think First or second week of the session, the senate passed Senate Bill 99, which addressed the issue of people repeatedly calling 9 1 1 to report non-emergencies. Like a car is parked out in, in front of my yard or someone has knocked on my door trying to sell me magazine subscriptions and I want the, I need the police to come here and solve this problem. So we passed that bill. Uh, at the same time, Representative Monson over in the house was, uh, tackling essentially the same problem of intentional abuse of 9 1 1. And actually, Mr. President, he reported to me that the, uh, you know, a specific incident …

  Okay, but who arrives? Right? I see someone, they're in my neighborhood. I think they might be a victim of human trafficking. If I call nine one one or I call this new number, who arrives in each of those scenarios? Is it different people?

• H.B. 411 Human Trafficking Hotline Amendments · Senate floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

  Opposes the bill, saying it adds an extra step in an emergency, that 911 is widely known, and that a second number could cause confusion and hurt the intended purpose.

  Read what they said

  Let me suggest Mr. President, this is not the right solution. If I see an emergency and someone who is in need of law enforcement help quickly, it sounds like the quickest way to get that person help is to call nine one one. If I call a national hotline that somebody answers in Washington DC and tell them what's going on, what will that national hotline do? They'll call Utah's nine one one. Uh, and, and dispatch law enforcement. I just think that we have added an extra step when time would be more critical. And secondly to that, I think 9 1 1 is universally known. You know, every child learns it from the time that they're even …
