SJR 201 Utah Senate · 2025 Second Special Session

Joint Resolution Amending Court Rules of Procedure

SJR 201 is a procedural resolution amending Utah's court rules to specifically address election-related appeals. It adjusts deadlines for filing appeals in election cases (amending Rules 4, 6, and 30 of the Appellate Rules) and clarifies procedures for filing cost bonds and attorney fee motions in those cases (amending Rules 58A and 73 of Civil Procedure). The changes streamline timelines for parties appealing election judgments and ensure appeals from election-related rulings follow distinct procedures from general cases. No new funding or substantive policy changes are introduced - this resolution only modifies existing court rule language for technical accuracy and consistency.
