  • 2021 Legislative Wrap up Document
    UTAH LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS LEGISLATIVE2021 WRAP UP #Cities Work INTRODUCTION 2021 was a legislative session like no other: new Governor, new legislators, COVID-19, Zoom voting, and an earlier start date after several 2020 special sessions. ULCT successfully nav- igated the 2021 General Session by relying on the League’s pillars: respecting the roles of state and local government, collaborating with stake- holders, and targeting policy-focused outcomes. ULCT took a hands-on approach with over 60 bills—testifying, negoti- ating, writing language, 245 and other advocacy BILLS TRACKED work—in addition to the INTRODUCTION 245 bills we tracked. Despite many bills preempt- ing local government authority, ULCT effectively defeated legislation mandating digital billboards, expanding short-term rentals, and increasing bureaucracy around fees, to name a few. ULCT invested significant resources negotiating and amending two preemptive land use bills, and will continue discussions with legislators on inspec- tions, building design elements, and internal ac- cessory dwelling units. Several bills supporting and improving law enforcement were passed due to the efforts of the Love, Listen, Lead Task Force, a joint ULCT and Utah Chiefs of Police Association endeavor. The Legislature also passed an unprec- edented investment in transit and transportation projects, efforts supported by the ULCT Board. Ultimately, our success comes back to the unpar- alleled involvement by our members. Thank you! Of course, the session also created plenty of is- sues for the 2021 interim, including continuing discussions on water, land use, public safety, and much more. We encourage members to engage with the League through the Legislative Policy Committee, ULCT conferences, and League com- munications.
