State Sovereignty Amendments

HB 85, titled "State Sovereignty Amendments," prohibits Utah's governor and local officials from declaring a state of emergency solely based on an international organization's (such as the UN, WHO, or World Economic Forum) declaration. The bill declares that international organizations have no legal authority in Utah and bans state agencies, counties, cities, and other local governments from implementing or enforcing their directives. It defines key terms like "chief executive officer" and "international organization" to clarify which officials and actions are covered by the law. The bill amends existing Utah code sections and does not appropriate new funds.
