<p>As Utah&#8217;s <strong>2010 General Legislative Session</strong> ended, there were a number of bills worth calling to your attention.   Although this videp is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all the significant measures considered by this year&#8217;s legislature, it will draw your attention to many of the &#8220;higher profile bills&#8221; debated in the Utah House and the Senate.</p>
<p>NOTE:  Rep. Frank did NOT support the cigarette tax increase because he thought it was <a href="http://underthedome.org/2009/05/14/smokin-a-buttgonna-cost-you-more/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">bad tax policy</span></strong></a>.  Target taxing minority, addicted populations is never a good idea and runs counter-intuitive to the basic universal tax theory of:  <strong>Lowering the Rate and Spreading the Base</strong>.  Also, Rep. Frank did NOT support &#8220;Healthcare Reform,&#8221; as proposed in Rep. David Clark&#8217;s HB294, but believes that the private sector&#8217;s continued concerns related to this proposal warrant additional consideration before the Clark Proposal is implemented into the law.</p>

<p>As Utah&#8217;s <strong>2010 General Legislative Session</strong> ended, there were a number of bills worth calling to your attention.   Although this videp is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all the significant measures considered by this year&#8217;s legislature, it will draw your attention to many of the &#8220;higher profile bills&#8221; debated in the Utah House and the Senate.</p>
<p>NOTE:  Rep. Frank did NOT support the cigarette tax increase because he thought it was <a href="http://underthedome.org/2009/05/14/smokin-a-buttgonna-cost-you-more/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">bad tax policy</span></strong></a>.  Target taxing minority, addicted populations is never a good idea and runs counter-intuitive to the basic universal tax theory of:  <strong>Lowering the Rate and Spreading the Base</strong>.  Also, Rep. Frank did NOT support &#8220;Healthcare Reform,&#8221; as proposed in Rep. David Clark&#8217;s HB294, but believes that the private sector&#8217;s continued concerns related to this proposal warrant additional consideration before the Clark Proposal is implemented into the law.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: Times New Roman;"><sup><strong>composed by the Media Relations Coordinator for the House GOP</strong></sup></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">This week, House Republicans reached an agreement on balancing next year&#8217;s budget proposal without a tax hike or making education cuts knowing that they will have to make cuts in other areas.  Rep. Greg Hughes made the motion in the open House caucus on Tuesday to adopt the $11.5 billion budget for 2010-2011 without any tax or fee hikes.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">As for ethics reform, on Monday, amendments were made to the House ethics bills in the Senate committee and on Tuesday, three bills cleared the Senate with unanimous approval and now head to the House for their consideration.  The main bill SJR3 would set the structure and rules for a new independent ethics commission that would screen complaints against lawmakers to determine if allegations have merit.  Speaker of the House David Clark who supports the commission says, “We’re going to ask for the support of the people in granting a constitutional amendment that enshrine this in a much greater standpoint so that future legislators will serve with the opportunity of having an ethics commission with the ability to act independently.” </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Also getting attention this week, a joint resolution that passed the house urging the Governor to withdraw Utah from the Western Climate Initiative, a bill offering approval for colleges and universities to authorize charter schools passed the house floor and HB 143, Eminent Domain Authority passed the house which would authorize the state to exercise eminent domain on property possessed by the federal government.</span></h3>

<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: Times New Roman;"><sup><strong>composed by the Media Relations Coordinator for the House GOP</strong></sup></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">This week, House Republicans reached an agreement on balancing next year&#8217;s budget proposal without a tax hike or making education cuts knowing that they will have to make cuts in other areas.  Rep. Greg Hughes made the motion in the open House caucus on Tuesday to adopt the $11.5 billion budget for 2010-2011 without any tax or fee hikes.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">As for ethics reform, on Monday, amendments were made to the House ethics bills in the Senate committee and on Tuesday, three bills cleared the Senate with unanimous approval and now head to the House for their consideration.  The main bill SJR3 would set the structure and rules for a new independent ethics commission that would screen complaints against lawmakers to determine if allegations have merit.  Speaker of the House David Clark who supports the commission says, “We’re going to ask for the support of the people in granting a constitutional amendment that enshrine this in a much greater standpoint so that future legislators will serve with the opportunity of having an ethics commission with the ability to act independently.” </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Also getting attention this week, a joint resolution that passed the house urging the Governor to withdraw Utah from the Western Climate Initiative, a bill offering approval for colleges and universities to authorize charter schools passed the house floor and HB 143, Eminent Domain Authority passed the house which would authorize the state to exercise eminent domain on property possessed by the federal government.</span></h3>
