Statewide Initiative Modifications

Summary

HB 160 changes Utah's initiative rules by doubling the required legal signatures from 4% to 8% of active voters, both for petitions sent to the Legislature and those placed directly on the ballot. If the Legislature does not enact an initiative, the proposal is automatically placed on the ballot for the next regular general election. The changes aim to standardize the process and ensure voter‑driven measures receive a clear path to a public vote.
