Appellate Court Jurisdiction Amendments

SB 2002 clarifies and updates the jurisdiction of Utah's appellate courts, specifically the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. It establishes the Supreme Court's exclusive authority in certain cases (like capital felony appeals, election disputes, and lawyer discipline), allows appeals to proceed even if attorney fee motions are unresolved in district court, and updates jurisdiction descriptions for agency decisions. This affects legal proceedings involving those specific cases, as well as litigants and courts navigating appellate pathways. The bill makes technical changes to court procedures without creating new policies or appropriating funds.
