HJR 201 Utah House · 2025 Second Special Session

Joint Resolution Regarding Constitutional Authority

HJR 201 is a legislative resolution (not a bill) passed by Utah's Legislature. It condemns recent court actions regarding redistricting, specifically criticizing the Utah Supreme Court for creating a "super law" doctrine and ordering the use of a map drawn by special interest groups instead of the Legislature's approved map. The resolution reaffirms that redistricting authority belongs to the Legislature per the Utah Constitution and Proposition 4, and urges courts to follow constitutional text rather than override elected representatives. It does not create new laws or appropriate funds.
