Dear Business Community,
Week 3 of the legislative session has wrapped, and things remain busy on Capitol Hill. We have seen movement on many of the Chamber’s priority bills this week. The comprehensive transportation bill and Talent Ready Utah legislation passed out of committee, Sen. Millner’s Talent Development and Retention bill passed favorably in the Senate, and
S.C.R. 9
, supporting a future Olympic Winter Games in Utah, was signed by the Governor. Our team continues to work with stakeholders on a number of other bills including legislation addressing housing affordability, paid family leave, education funding, and public private partnerships.
Week 3 of the session also marks an important step in the legislative process
–
the passage of the state’s base budget. The appropriations subcommittees have finished their work, and the state’s finalized budget numbers will soon be released in preparation for the remaining half of the session.
We once again encourage you to stay actively involved in the session by contacting your legislators to advance the business community’s priorities. As always, please feel free to reach out to us with questions or concerns.
Best,
The Salt Lake Chamber Policy Team
