Amendments to Procedure to Fill A Legislative Vacancy

Summary

The measure changes Utah law so that any vacancy in the state House must be filled by a special election rather than an immediate appointment. It sets specific dates for those elections, allows the governor to schedule alternative dates if funding is approved, and provides a short‑term appointment only when a vacancy occurs during a legislative session. The goal is to ensure voters choose replacements while keeping representation functional during the session.
