Final Annual Bill Review 2016-2
UTAH ASSOCIATION OF SPECIAL DISTRICTS 2016 BILL REVIEW By Mark H. Anderson, General Counsel and Heather N. Anderson, Lobbyist and Rachel S. Anderson, Associate Counsel By the end of the 2016 session of the Utah State Legislature, the Association was following 200 Bills, the most ever, but had reviewed a far greater number of Bills. Many Bills were reviewed and investigated to make sure they had no impact on local districts or special service districts and, once the lack of impact was confirmed, were dropped from the weekly Legislative Summary. “H.B.” stands for “House Bill” and “S.B.” stands for “Senate Bill”. Most of the Bills were “tracked” or “followed”, but a number of them were actively supported or opposed by the Association. During the course of the forty-five day legislative session, weekly meetings were held at the Capitol at which all interested local district and special service district representatives were welcome. Bills were reviewed during those meetings and the position of the Association on each Bill was determined. By the end of the legislative session, the Association supported 52 Bills, ¾ of which passed, and opposed 16 Bills, only one of which passed -- on reconsideration during the waning moments of the legislative session. Statutory references and quotations in this Review come from the Enrolled Bills, not from the prior version of the Utah Code. Consequently, if a reader verifies statutory references and quotations by looking at the pre-2016 Legislative session version of the Utah Code, the quotations likely will vary, and the referenced Code Section may be absent.
