Ballot Proposition Amendments

HB 101 modifies Utah's election code to require the Office of Legislative Research to create impartial ballot titles and analyses for constitutional amendments, statewide initiatives, and referendums. This change directly affects voters by providing clearer, neutral descriptions of ballot measures, and impacts election officials who must now prepare these nonpartisan summaries. The bill establishes a standardized process where the Office of Legislative Research, not the sponsoring body, develops the official language and financial analysis for these measures. These updates ensure voters receive consistent, factual information about proposed laws before casting their ballots.
