Proposal to Amend Utah Constitution - Legislative Duties

SJR 18 proposes amending Utah's constitution to change how the state legislature schedules its annual sessions. It would allow sessions to occur on nonconsecutive days (while keeping the 45-day annual session limit), require both legislative chambers to meet on the same days, and adjust related session duration rules. If approved by voters, the changes would take effect January 1, 2028, and would apply to all future legislative sessions. This is a procedural change affecting how Utah's legislature organizes its work, not substantive policy.
