May 2016 Legislative Highlights!

Following the completion of the general legislative Session begins the off-season, or "Interim" Session.  Once a month we meet in committees comprised of both House and Senate members and begin to craft and discuss proposed legislation for the 2016 session.   Our latest Interim Session was on May 18, 2016. On that same date, we had two items to vote on during a special session.  See details below: Items discussed during the May 2016 Interim / Special Session included:
Other items   Thanks to the Salt Lake Chamber for recognizing me as one of their 2016 "Business Champions." Although we still have work to do, there's a reason Utah's economy is ranked by several major publications as one of the best. It doesn't happen by accident. Congrats to Finau Tauteoli and Vicky Nguyen, both District 33 residents, who received scholarships from Comcast due to their stellar high school careers. Honored to be part of the lunch reception at the Capitol in their honor. We obviously have lots more work to do to clean our air. I'm grateful for this bipartisan "Clean Air Caucus" group that I'm a part of that is seeking real solutions to this issue. Republicans and democrats working together for a common goal. How novel. Thanks to those who attend for your efforts. My wife and I attended the Valley Jr. High awards ceremony last week. We had to take one last photo with principal Mr. Holt and asst. principal Ms. Ibarra since they have been assigned to other schools next year. Mr. Holt has been the principal at Valley for 8 years! Thanks to both of them for all their hard work with the Valley students and good luck at your new schools. Summary of the 2016 Regular Session
For those interested, the legislative staff has put together some good summaries of what was accomplished during the last Legislative Session:
