SCR 3 Utah Senate · 2026 General Session

Concurrent Resolution Regarding Nuclear Weapons Testing

SCR 3 is a Utah legislative resolution urging the U.S. government not to resume explosive nuclear weapons testing. It directly addresses the federal government, referencing Utah's historical exposure to radioactive fallout from Nevada tests and citing international consensus (187 countries supporting the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty) and 75% U.S. public opposition. The resolution emphasizes that the U.S. already maintains nuclear safety through the Stockpile Stewardship Program and that restarting tests would escalate global nuclear arms races. As a symbolic measure with no funding or legal effect, it does not change federal policy but formally expresses Utah's position.
