Summary

The measure amends Utah law to say that bodies like the United Nations, World Health Organization, and World Economic Forum have no legal power in the state. It bars the governor and local chief executives from issuing emergency orders that are based only on a proclamation from those organizations, and it forbids the state and its agencies from carrying out any international directives. It also limits certain emergency powers of local officials, especially regarding epidemics or pandemics.
